lament

i found myself twirling a
pen over a blank page

just twirling
waiting for inspiration

the second coming is
more likely

i looked out the window to
the great asphalt plain

i saw stunted trees & heavy
machinery & cars

lots of cars

i looked back at my paper
& my pen-- so much for might

I like the image of "lots of cars". We have so many cars... They can go so fast and so far but I usually just sit in rush hour going 25 mph on the 20 mile drive to work, then back again. Wash, rinse, repeat. So much power, "so much for might".
