beginnings

Just as the beginnings and, for that matter,
all of my writing happened without me meaning to write,
I am unable to pinpoint a desire for the craft.

I did not develop

My SAT scores showed I was adept in literature but
not math, debunked in my young mind as I became an
Honor Student my senior year (first and only time)
and particularly excelled in a harrowing calculus class.

the concept,

My English was barely basic 4 years earlier when we moved
to the states, so the SAT scores baffled me.

it was never in my head

Nevertheless, what I did have ALWAYS, which I still do,
is a love of paper, notebooks, pens, and pencils.
