Relax a Tive

i admit 
i can't
seem
to sit
still
but
i'll
still
try
to
wry
T
this

tonight i can't 
find sleep
nasally not 
sinus con
gestion but 
brain con
stipation 

as stupid as 
that may seem
but beginnings of
too many poems 
without endings 
within me are filled

not necessarily
because of my
recent dietary
only drinking
beer and eat
ing cheese
that has
stopped
me up

i just
babble
yes i do
just babble

like a brook
or a stream
or a broken
record that
skips and
repeats

repeats

repeats

scratch that
i'm not a
broken
record

flip me
to my
b side
and

you'll see
or at least
hear that
i'm here

"brain constipation" - I truly LIKE this! What a great idea for many poems!
