When Distraction Takes Hold...Suck It
What Will I Type?

Sober after my first cup I stare at a wood, oval top
perfect for plates, evenly spaced, decorated with
folded napkins of whatever design and the purposed forks,
ornate spoons married at their side, hidden from
the seldom-used but dutiful butterknife, erect at attendance.
Perfect for that,
but what I see are a collection of folded statements and letters
with windows empty, mingling with scribbles and scratchings
on errant notes, a purposed power cord attached to an iPhone
next to an empty, stained white cup. The reading glasses
are not to be found.
So, I type on this illuminated distraction wide with characters
and connected despair.
What will I type tomorrow?

#1149750 by He’s Brian K Compton


I recently read other noteworthy poets I've had the pleasure of connecting with (in the real world) and reminded I want passion in my writing, not just prose broken into lines to punctuate colorfully depicted anecdotes from life. I want more out writing than a flat vignette that passes for poetry; but, a deep, subdural connection to ignorant, hidden regions of a flailing anatomy full of uncompromising chemicals bathing its psyche. Gah! I hate where that last sentence went...but, I'm not changing it. And, I'm not apologizing. Suck it, Neitzsche!
