I Can Write a Poem In Two Seconds

I can write a poem in six seconds
He stares at me. His smile widens.
I can write one in four.
Three I say.
Two.




Neither of us speak for a second
Knowing it is not going to be



a good 
one

Caren, you are an undeniably gifted poetess. And I'm sure you can write while sleeping, but try to compete with him and watch how he reacts.
