"I Love the Look of Words"
Maya
Angelou ©1993
Popcorn leaps, popping
from the floor
of a hot black skillet
and into my mouth.
Black words leap,
snapping from the white
page
Rushing into my eyes.
Sliding into my brain
which gobbles them,
the way my tongue and
teeth
chomp the buttered popcorn.
When I have stopped reading,
ideas from the words
stay stuck
in my mind, like the
sweet
smell of butter perfuming
my
fingers long after the
popcorn
is finished.
I love the book and the
look of words
the weight of ideas that
popped into my mind
I love the tracks
of new thinking in my
mind.
