double yellow lines

Double yellow lines 

I sit inside a massive fog of nothingness
plays on my imaginary piano using one finger
a ditty, sun outside, sun inside, sun only sun
I feel massively and supremely untalented 
Now that the amalgamation of writers, poets
 dancers, trampoline ladies, and painters that
lived inside of me, has turned into a block
immovable zero 

I look at a black dot ringed by a grey cloud 
If I stare at this long enough, the cloud might
disappear, only it is not, it turns into a dervish
The amalgamation has fractured, and I sit on 
a rowing boat on a green sea, watching gulls
white as angels fly upward into a hole in
a void, at last, there is silence, and I'm at ease
With my vastly incompetent self
