tHE sAD lIFE oF a wRITER

Joe Wright

To write
To lie
Is a page and a half a day
Running on empty
Nothing works or fits
Millionaire's Shortbread flutters around in my stomach
And hindrance of my concealed fate
Exhaust!
After days of fruitful poetry
I'm on the decline once again!
Persistence is my strength
To ferment for use again
When juices aren't to flow
WHICH THEY WON'T!
