Trixie is Annoyingly Persistent
There are many things I would rather do
Trixie, my muse is tapping me like a tattoo artist’s needle
She is annoyingly insistent, brazen and persistent
I decide to ignore her; I have other hobbies
The poem she wants to write floats in the air of my art studio
I throw fluorescent orange paint onto a canvas and ignore her
She sends a wasp that lands on the paint
This is maddening
another line of her poem shouts in my ear
I cannot fight Trixie any longer
I put down my brush and pick up a pen
