Write for the sake of writing—
the practice and patience of putting
wordafterwordafterwordafterword
Was that the basis of our relationship?
Practice and patience and
wordafterwordafterwordafterword?
When you were with her, did you talk so endlessly?
Did you espouse and spout
wordafterwordafterwordafterword?
Was she expected to believe all you said?
To bob her head like an obedient dog?
So she now writes for the sake of writing—
the practice and patience of putting
wordafterwordafterwordafterword?
