The
margins are set, the font is right, my fingers hover.
What
will I write?
I
see my reflection in the mirror on my desk,
It is there
because I Skype… You know what I mean.
What
will I write?
Stop
thinking about Facebook or
Twitter or Tumblr.
Blank, blank, blank it's all I see.
Blank, blank, blank it's all I see.
What
will I write?
I’m
hungry. Should I go make a sandwich?
My
boys’ photos on the wall smile back at me.
Yes
Mom, go make a sandwich, they seem to say,
NO,
NO, NO! Concentrate for heavens’ sake!
What
will I write?
I
smell the new incense I lit before sitting down,
I
hear the clock ticking and the hiss of my tinnitus.
Think,
think, think….come on woman,
There’s
got to be something in your head!
What
will I write?
The
phone rings downstairs,
My
husband picks it up.
The
dog wanders in,
I
pet her on the head.
I
think of the sandwich again,
And
OMG! Now I have to pee!
What
will I write?..........Nothing
today.
