Creativity


from the ABC set

I’d like to say that every word
is torn from me, like Vincent’s brush strokes.
In fact I’ve got logorrhoea;

and every carefully polished turd
that decorates your page and ink-soaks
the virgin vellum with a base idea,

is no more likely, or less absurd,
than that the thought of monkeys stokes
in keyboards an incandescent fear.
