wondering
wandering
train stations
(NUMTOTs)
music
in my ears
(but not on)
(or maybe on, but not in)

or would i rather

sit
and
ponder
research
and
file
write
and
write

but right now i must
answer emails
and answer texts
and write a little bit at a time

if i do continue to
poetry
every day
will my poems become
(like my morning pages)
about the act of writing them
(and the frustration when they don’t flow)

…or
could i maybe break through that struggle
and find my voice on the other side
of the struggle and search
for words and subjects
and feel confident in my
abilities
as a
writer.
