With my failed career;
rejection slips
rejected heart
pulling for love
wishing
wishing longing
yen for Zen
hand feels
pangs from the pen
listening not hearing
STOP!
take a break
momentary
screeching halt
to the pure flow
of consciousness
get back
on track
with hair tousled
thinking fame success
Burroughs alive at 78;
I’m clearly
not up to par
on all my thoughts
