It’s Only Words

Ink and pulp and chemical impulses
Streaming from that oft analyzed region;
The void filled by sight and sound and taste and feel and smell

Words - triggered by the most insignificant catalyst
Driving, pushing, burning, yearning to be freed
As that magical moment
When a new emptiness invades our world
Thrusting from the black-holed regions
Absorbing everything in its path

Words

The heavens open and channel divine thought to my genius.

“You must be a genius.”

I must be.

“Are you a genius?”

I don’t…well…uh… maybe?
Never really thought about…hmmm…maybe
Yes…yes, you could be right.
Maybe that is it!
I AM A GOD!!!

“This one is particularly good.
I can really feel the emotion in it.
The only thing I would change is....”

Change?
Change!
CHANGE!!!!!!
