Writer's Block



I write for too long
I write not enough
I write sometimes
I write not at all
But I can’t reach the peak
So I invent
And reinvent
Destroy
And re-destroy
But I can no longer speak
My words are oblique
Too sane for profane
Too quarrelsome for chic
Too powdered to reek
Of crude verbatim

I write all the time
I write when it comes
I write when I cum
I write when I’m nothing
But I don’t understand
So I do it again
I avoid what I’ve done
I seek for the new
But good words are just few
And the result is cacophony
A prophylactic for success
I go back and address
And I try not to stress
Keep it cool, make it sly
Fly
High
Nigh?

...Nay

What you have before your eyes,
Ladies and gentlemen
Is quite an impressive mess
More complex than a game of chess
More confusing than a Jackson Pollock

So I digress
And give it a rest
For a day
For two
For three weeks
For four months
And Tada!
 I come up with this
Really?!
With this?!
Tsk
Tsk
