hidden
there beneath
dimpled laptop
holder of all things
work the half sheets of secret
thoughts drained off in small squirts
answer email coach student essayists grade
modest summaries of Swift epic hero analysis narrative accounts
winded
words berate
headache of verse
clamors against sinus
cavities eardrumming
mutter placations of ego look
at me listen to me write me procrastinate
drag working feet no further no farther stop Englishing
correcting red penciling penicillin of the soul must be unleashed
unloosed
I slide the paper
from the hiding place
pen scrawl pay obeisance stanza
back and survey that which I have little sway
over less credit for merely a vessel holding ink
Breathe
Breathe

This is so typical–those:
“half sheets of secret
thoughts drained off in small squirts”
That is so often how I write…keeping a notepad nearby to blot up those squirts.
