Poem Wrote on the Back of My Mind

There must be a wall there,
electric eels scribble there, and rabbit holes
go deep into words.

Those words wrote themselves,
they must have climbed over the wall
leaving only off-white smears.

I am done speaking of it,
at least
until the next inexplicable moment
learns to speak for itself.
