One would think
a crisp, white plain
broken only with lines
of blue
and red
and sometimes a blinking
cursor
would be met
with the spoils of prior
contemplation,
great things brewed
in grey matter tea.
One should be reminded of
great masters
poised fingers over
worn keys;
thundering concertos to come.
Yet the perceived
masterpiece simply sits
behind otherworldly tension.
Dust tends to gather in these moments
tumbleweeds crisscrossing
reminding us of our own stillness
glasses fog, smudged fingerprints appear
temple screws mysteriously
unscrew themselves
and housework becomes an
exotic
sensual
distraction.
Paper cuts become a
dangerous
reality.
For all the notes that came before;
in showers,
cars,
unromantic dates,
and long,
lonely walks;
only the lost bits
of grocery lists remain
the twice forgotten red onion
remains in the miserable
forefront
of your
rotting,
prehistoric
brain.
