Whatever Happened to all our Little Notebooks?

 

We all saw the same old bumper sticker:

This is not a rehearsal; this is your life

And so we carried little notebooks around

Discreetly jotting down the overheards

 

In coffee shops and class, the mid-night shift

The bus to work, the elevator up

The escalator down, the line at the bank

For the poems or plays or novels we’d write

 

The cafeteria was a notebook itself

Between the salad and dessert we fell in love
