A bizarre thought-provoking poem.

If a reader reads
and a writer writes,
why get annoyed at a
writer that doesn’t read
and a reader that doesn’t write?

What would happen,
if the writer only read
what the reader never wrote
and the reader only wrote
what the writer never read?

Where would we all be then?

    maybe all the writing would spill into an alternate reality, or all the creative thoughts become bubbles in reality.
    a thought provoking poem, thanks!
