align left, move to the right
i am: clause defective
compound sentence challenged
structure/pattern destructive
declarative burdened
coordinating conjunction traumatized
open-hyphenated ellipsed
dash and dot sick
the pre-packaged and standardized formulas of creative writing 101 throughout the lands
makes my head ache closes me up tight like a nightime bud
and all these birkenstocks in this town of illustrious degreed writing sisters
make me nervous make my words want to take cover and hide
make me wrong somehow
so i stay home and chuckle at the cookie cutters and giggle at the methodology of wordsmithing
while waiting for the travelogue clips from my muse’s latest journey away
she’s anywhere but where i need her to be most of the time…

try this or that…..
yet in the end, the inevitable:
i try nothing
