Where did the literary
giants write their masterpieces?
Thoughts like this plague
me when my mind stews.
I heard that Hemingway
stood to write.
Did any of them write on
the toilet?
Straining to ****
"Call me Ishmael"
Could that have been the genesis
for Moby ****
I like to write in bed, sleep
competes with the creative
process, but I keep coffee on
my nightstand.
I prop myself with
Hawkeye pillows, and
arrange the vapes.
Cigarettes are gone, but the
nicotine addiction remains.
No ***** to spill on
the pages, and no woman to
vie for my affection.
Tonight, I make love to
the page.

Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry from my latest books, Seedy Town Blues Collected Poems, It's Just a Hop, Skip, and a Jump to the Madhouse, and Sleep Always Calls. They are available on Amazon.
