This Morning
here I am this morning
sitting at a table meant for card play
but being used as a desk
all alone in my bedroom
I try to start writing
but can't think of what to say
I feel a bit grotesque
like I just crawled out of a tomb
should I write about
the nightmare which woke me?
or the dead squirrel I saw
on my way to get caffeine?
trying not to pout
over a brief lack of creativity
making an effort to claw
at any creative gene
so here I am this morning
suddenly wanting to play poker
I should be seriously writing
but I'd rather be a joker
