words

sometimes the words just won't come,
usually when i'm sitting in front
of a keyboard with all the elements
laid out before my eyes
like a bunch of puzzle pieces
with an infinite number
of possible arrangements,
none of which form coherent images

and other times
the words just won't
stop -
they harass me
at night
in bed,
won't let me sleep
they harass me
on my way to work
they harass me
at work
they harass me

I know both feelings. Well said.
