I sit here staring at my computer
as I desperately want to write
and have this overwhelming urge
but can think of nothing to say.

Usually, words just roll off my lips
transmitted by my brain to thoughts
and then slowly typed into my computer
where they come out in word form
making sense for others to read.

Today was different as try as I might
no easy subject came to mind
and I found my mind rejecting
thought after thought,
idea after idea.

I wonder what it is that makes
my brain act this way.
how can I be overflowing
with ideas one day
and the next, scratching around
like a chicken
looking for morsels to feed on.

What’s this, look what I have done
out of nothing has come a new subject
even though it is mainly a discussion on –
nothing…
