I want to write a poem about the state of things with sharp wit and criticism jacks, clubs, spades, Kings I want to write a poem about mental health and how the crazy could be the sane with less serotonine and more wealth I want to write a poem about my state of mind of floating numbers, shifting colours, brittle nerves and choking vines I want to write a poem about the winter weather Naked maples, cracked cement, sugar plums, sleepful ether I want to write a poem about a soothing blend of tea Steeping time, orange peels, history in unfurling leaves I want to write a poem about my final resting place one with candles, herbs and lilies a quiet "Hail Mary, full of Grace." I want to write a poem about making marmalde, coriander spice cake and fresh chopped lavender, food grade But mostly I want to write a poem about anything at all but every time I even try I hit a ******* wall.

I Want to Write a Poem
I want to write a poem about the state of things with sharp wit and criticism jacks, clubs, spades, Kings I want to write a poem about mental health and how the crazy could be the sane with less serotonine and more wealth I want to write a poem about my state of mind of floating numbers, shifting colours, brittle nerves and choking vines I want to write a poem about the winter weather Naked maples, cracked cement, sugar plums, sleepful ether I want to write a poem about a soothing blend of tea Steeping time, orange peels, history in unfurling leaves I want to write a poem about my final resting place one with candles, herbs and lilies a quiet "Hail Mary, full of Grace." I want to write a poem about making marmalde, coriander spice cake and fresh chopped lavender, food grade But mostly I want to write a poem about anything at all but every time I even try I hit a ******* wall.
I wrote this while in class, leaning on a wooden table covered in flour and bits of sticky bread dough in between baking loaves.
