TIME's THIEF
"Writing is 90 percent procrastination:
reading magazines,
eating cereal out of the box,
watching infomercials.”
—Paul RudnickRelax - trying will not ease the flow
of inspiration from skull to fingertips,
but that porridge and toast you made
earlier will energise enough for words
to wend circuitously however nerves
transmit images of the tarred street
we played on, and the voices: Kay's,
Sonia's, Martin's, Cynthia's, Sue's.
Even that ad for Audi blinks eyes awake.
We travel from lanes to highways,
but memory meanders us back to hedgerows,
ditches, wildflowers, bees' buzz and birdsong.
