Jackson Riley - Writer's Dam

I’ve noticed when a person doesn’t know what to write about
they tend to write about having writer’s block.
I do it, too
only when the pot and bourbon won’t work,

and my sore brain crawls on through the night
like a rat
dragging a mousetrap
across a cold kitchen floor,

and the only thing moving in the whole world
is the ceiling fan
overhead,
circling like a vulture.
