DISTURBING THE PEN

what creeps
in?

insanity of sorts,

leaking
in,

instead of out.

it dribbles
out,

like drool or frothing foam.

it comes
from

the inner sanctum,

barely a
stream,

scissors snip away at contentions,

invention of
hate.

bitterness and cacophony invades.

you toss and turn,
laughing.

like a crazy fool, do not turn over

and look at
the underside.

drip, drop, drip,
on the roof of
your head.

clear your mind and begin again,

putting pen to
paper,

even bend and fly that plane.

ramblings are...
just that.

Conjure up a complete thought.

i see you hiding in the
corner,

cobwebs like sticky curtains.

madness laughs
uproariously.

how insane you look when humor beds your pen.

friction of match
complains,

as a scintilla of flame recognizes your waning brain.

This is charming! I especially love, "cobwebs like sticky curtains". And to think all this time my pen has been drooling!
