this & that

 

Writing's tough (for me).

1, make the list. Birds, trees, love, war, death, loss, whatnot.

2, cross out everything. Don't copy, stupid.

3, stare at the blank page. The genius act.

4, post that.

5, stare at the four walls (while they tighten the straightjacket).

6,

smell the ink still in the air,

remember that, 

that which was there with this then,

that #eludes me now, and this,

that lovely stink of sweaty us.

brain fade?

 

When you asked,

Doubt the Jack-in-the-box and Suspicion 

Tied my shoelaces together,

Browsed the #past, begged AI to crystal gaze,

And

When you were at the door,

I must have asked what you asked,

Do you love me

or 

Was it rhetorical

or 

A statement, 

say,

Get lost?
