Silence


I fill yellowed paper
With blackened silence.

There was a time
When I ejected words
Mass produced, industrialized and cheap.
In plastic. And well packaged
so that they wouldn’t break
An adolescent obsession
Don’t we all love to write
some poetry? Sign our name
On paper. So that we exist, at last.
Yes, there was a time
When I poured out meaningless words
With pleasure and pride.
With inspiration. And now
I fill
Yellowed paper
With a grim silence
