I regret that I cannot write this poem because I'm bleeding out at the shoulder and I'm not left-handed-- I can't write this poem because I'm short- circuiting and stunned. I can't write this poem because there are no words for this thing I never thought I'd fall victim to-- the pen in my hand feels like a gun and I'm going to shoot this page to **** this ******** therapy, dear Poetry, I QUIT-- because there's not enough blood left to fill my pen

I regret that I cannot write this poem because I'm bleeding out at the shoulder and I'm not left-handed-- I can't write this poem because I'm short- circuiting and stunned. I can't write this poem because there are no words for this thing I never thought I'd fall victim to-- the pen in my hand feels like a gun and I'm going to shoot this page to **** this ******** therapy, dear Poetry, I QUIT-- because there's not enough blood left to fill my pen
Sometimes, I do the same writing exercises I give to my students.
