Day Two: Internal Dialogue

Internal Dialogue
By Batsheva 12/3/09

You have to write a poem
I’d rather meet a golem
You’d still have to write a poem
I’d rather be in Nome
You’d still have to write a poem
My brain is putting up a fight
I simply don’t know what to write
You made a commitment
You have to stick with it
You have to write a poem
The lights are off inside my head
I simply must go back to bed
NO
It may not be fun
But you must get it done
You have to write a poem
My skull is filled with purple foam
But
I think I wrote a poem

(Do you always talk to yourself in rhymes?
No, just sometimes.)
