Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

waiting for inspiration can be so boring
i could be watching the Oriole game
who knows it might be a no-hitter
in the making and I could claim
i watched every single inning, I could
be down at the rock and roll sex palace
bouncing my head up and down
to the groove of the next self proclaimed
funkiest of all funky divas, that brand new
platinum blonde icon with little clothing on,
but nooooo, i'm sittin here
in my comfy poetry chair fondling my ballpoint
staring mindlessly at a yellow paper field
with exactly 28 horizontal blue lines, and only
two vertical red ones closely spaced on the left
waiting
waiting
waiting
can't you see me goddess ?
i'm right here
in the chair, waiting
waiting for you....can't you feel me ?
show me some love, mistress muse
i've been a good boy

the muse is a tease
hides in the shadows
with a cool drink
not concerned about
who needs her but
rather what she'll
do next to the next
artist freaking out

but she did her job
SAW, with your piece
that just appeared
before your eyes
before you knew it
and bip! it became

ipad pecking
these daze
so many notebooks
fading now
pages bleeding
palimpsest beauty
try to write by hand
on train, but it's hard
keep work notes
part of my job
peck at ipad
slow gliding
bukowski said he
flew on puter
i had to try
old notebooks fading
some lost in sowebo fire
others dead in a box
ironed out all the bad times
in them
learned to move on
i like the sketches in em best
old notebooks milldewed
some preserved, maybe 20
puter rules these days
archived all over cyberville
old notebooks cherished
memories, still always one in my pocket
plus pens and highlighters
for work, to write tickets
columns, beams, walls
back charges
try to write on try
it is really hard

Dear muse:
bus stop you said?
(that smells to job or vacations)
can´t we just walk?
