Leonard  
Sketching My Way through a  Poem 
by 
Leonard Tuchyner 
When I was little I used to draw. 
Problem was, I couldn’t copy what I saw. 
Thus I skittered out tiny, tentative lines 
who went where they were willing to go, 
rather than showing in one smooth flow. 
I believe the words sketch and statistics 
are intimately, strangely related. 
With many baby stitches I can choose 
which ones collectively happen to trend 
towards my wayward capricious intent. 
My poems and tales are winding trails, 
carried on the back of tenuous faith 
that all will rise to a meaningful form 
in its journey through inscrutable time. 
These tales don’t entirely write themselves, 
but then again aren’t totally by me. 
It’s all for the best that things work this  way. 
When story lines are perfectly set, 
I only learn what I already get. 
Do we live life, 
or does life live  us?
