but what if
the literary flow
clogs
and no Draino
in sight?
You are blocked!
Walking Whitmans
are no longer the rage
and Jack Kerouac
is decidedly dead
more and more
it seems like
it’s not worth the effort
of bleeding on the page
The cheaper efforts prevail
although broad scale production
was fully in employ
nobody seems to notice
bewildered
at the world
and how it’s come to this
that I just
don’t figure on resolving
with minimal effort
