Caren Krutsinger Poet Prose Poetry

I Should Stop Writing

I throw the words onto a page
they slide off on their butts, laughing
I scoop them up and try again
They dance around, reorganizing themselves
My muse is their whimsical overseer
She encourages them to mess with me

I should stop writing all together I say
They howl with laughter
Some are crying now.
One wets his pants.
These stupid ideas
know me incredibly well.
