Not a lot of my
Poems are complete
That is because I
Can’t compete

With those who
Think clearly
Or who construe
Words quickly

Nor those that
wage a war
So as to combat
What’s in their core

No I will not
play to win
as I wasn’t taught
To look within

sometime it is
in the act of writing
that we create the sense
of what we want to say

as if the process of articulation
    when we are fishing for the proper words
is generating meaning
inventing itself in its own genesis

leaving the poet amazed

sometimes even the readers
