A blank slate A slate wall A wall blocking Why can't I get around Frustration Where's the magic button Others had flower gardens Muses of sort why don't these work for me Stand and walk Two words... **** and chair ******* overrated Pop a brewski Gas twists and twirls God that bottle neck looks inviting Magic button found Wall lifts Beer almost dropped Rush Flash of images Flash of color Caught in the middle of the scene A man expected to reproduce a Rembrandt A Rembrandt on notepad paper Slight pause for dramatic effect Then..... The words fly The smile creeps Manic Exhilarating Skipping between minds Different people Different places Same time.  Different times Legalized schizophrenia The wall is lifted the slate is filled

The words fly The smile creeps Manic Exhilarating Skipping between minds Different people Different places Same time.  Different times Legalized schizophrenia The wall is lifted the slate is filled
