Paper Wait

Impatient time
insisting on running out
Gotta finish that book!

The mind plays along
sorting and spacing

Over there!
There's something...

It's a pile of papers
or a house of cards
In either case,
it's unrelated to
this moment in all ways but one

It shudders
and so do you

And then,

It rises on its
absent accord
and becomes tethered
to your mind

The magic merrionnette
stringless and happily implausible,
waves a manic hand
signalling insanity
to go ahead and assume
complete control

"Why not?" you gesture
and make for the
crazy.

All the while,
you're certain you could
write that novel
if you just had
enough time...

Well said, Brian! I echo these sentiments, as I've been writing "some" books, for quite awhile now. Oh, if only I had more time! Thanks!

At the end of the tether you will always find an excuse attached if you let it deter you.
