Unearthed Poemage

I'm back! Recently I found some poems from a while ago and decided to post them because they were just so cramped in the journal inside which they were originally placed. Here is one:
rewrite
Flipping chalkboards
and whiteboards
nestled in the wall,
layer after layer
So you can change
what you say
and get a fresh slate
No need to erase
what was written
You simply choose another
area
into which your words
are placed.
Life is not a series of boards
that are switched when you
mess
up.
You only get one
And you must write with
permanent
marker
Because those words -
the ones you spit into the air
are not erasable
Be careful what you
write on your board,
because you have
no
more
