Monday’s Poem

Monday’s poem arrives
Late, as usual for a Monday.
Rude, no apologies,
“I’m here already,
Get off my frickin’ back!”

It is late and Monday’s poem
Could not care less
If offered money to do so.
“You should be glad
I came at all.
I could have stayed
in bed.”

Ironically
until the arrival of
Monday’s poem,
I could not go to bed myself.
But now that the little
S.O.B. has finally shown up
I can leave the computer
And get some rest

I was just lamenting this very critical and frustrating quality of the writing process that makes writing so very painful at times. I found myself walking around my house, dusting the corners that no one ever ventures to, waiting, hoping, to collide with some inspiration.
