Long Blanking Poems

Friends used to say like an elephant I never forget
these days I have the memory of a goldish or amoeba
often find myself staring blanking into the fridge
wondering what I am doing there, what I’m looking...

Im married to writing 
but I'm cheating on her with music.

the flow
the flush
the rush
the endorphins

I think I deserve a ‘Best Actor’ award
