Egg Timer Poem
This teacher demanded that I write on cue.
Putting my art through an egg timer.
She forgot about the soul
how inspiration comes in starbursts
not pulled through a narrowing throat.
The egg timer is tipped over
the pencil sleeps in the slot
nothing but sand and egg on paper
what did she expect
Michelangelo or Seurat!
