The Stack’s The Thing
A book’s a stack,
And that is that;
The rest’s like jewels,
Supporting tools –Which tweak the book
Until it looks
The way we wish –
Conceptual bliss.For me, A.T.
The stack will be;
But stack now is
The heart of biz.“Like hourglass
Converging craft
Will focus to
The stack for you.“Then trim and bind
With end in mind,
Encasing stack
To focus that.“And now the book
With useful look,
Will wind its way
To light of day –“Exchanged for cash
When people ask
To have a look,
Then buy the book”.Farewell my friend;
It’s time to send
You to your task –
Help people ask –“How best respond?”
Then pass it on –
“Thinking machine
To move my being”.But all of that
Comes back to stack;
Creative flow
Helps others know –What’s in their heart;
What is their part;
How best to view
The things they do.Evoke from each
A stretch – a reach
Out into life
From dark to light.So, where to start
Bookmaking art?
Augmenting text –
Is that what’s next?No – start with stack,
Blank paper that,
Then add the jewels –
Supporting tools.Like Zorro’s ring,
The stack will bring
A locus to
The work I do.As I move out
(Both ways), then doubt
Assails my way,
In ring I’ll stay.With stack as ring,
To which I bring
Augmented text
Then add the rest –There’ll always be
A home for me –
A locus of
Each gift of love.navigation
