The Blank Screen
the blank screen
So here on a blank screen is the enemy
It has to be defeated filled with words so the blank
The screen can’t haunt me in the night.
I saw a vet program of a horse that was 3o years old
It couldn’t pull a cart any more, unproductive
Grazing and doing nothing, it also had kidney problems
Otherwise, it was beautiful.
A vet was called to put the horse down the vet thought
The horse looked fine, but it is useless the owner said
Put it down; a couple of injection later it was done.
Perhaps it was a good thing dying painlessly, we put
Older people in homes where they slowly die of boredom.
