One hop from the waste basket

that dangle hooks,
a “y” or a “g”,
maybe a text from “L”
(that caps it off)
they litter the page;
triple loop de loops.

Some are “x”ed over,
some newly blotted
where thoughts run elsewhere,
and where is the point
where the “i’s” will lead?

“Ings”, “ers” and “eds”,
struggle from one
moving phrase to the next,
but when the pen runs
drier
all that’s aired
is an unchimely snore
of writer’s
“z zz zz zzz z zz z’s”

Now, don’t succumb,
you know it’s so,
the blocked in message,
it’s almost written;
somewhere within
the pitfall scrawls of ink.

Damn it!
