does it feel some days
as if your muscles
are weak

.....limp

                    ....useless

not your biceps
or triceps
nor
your glutes or
your calves

but those used
for
thinking

              ...creating

                          ...making

we often write
about our minds
being
empty

or wells running dry

if we're out
of ideas

and poems just don't
flow

but maybe it's
not emptiness
after all

suppose it's
tired muscles
needing
a rest

perhaps overworked
and
stretched
far

          too

                   far

they want
a break

want us to use
those
other
muscles
instead

of
              the
                              ones

              i
                     n

o
                u
