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.
