Inspiration has left me lying in the gutter This forced write is all I have to console me The reverberating hum running through my fingertips seems numb. Not one insight, not one iota of a wordly crumb. This desire to write nothing is a dark stain I'm bleaching Poetically ironic that my own desolation has conspired To unwrite me from my pages Even the gutter has a view of this ****** ****.
