Writing Frenzy
Karyn Indursky 12/10/08

Words torment my being
when trying to function
in a redundant lifestyle
of work, raising a son, errands
and I'm supposed to simply
drop whatever I'm doing
because my muse
has sought me out
to be its scripture
sharing inspiration
from one person to another,
but it's a job
that doesn't pay me
for any of my efforts
or time spent sharing my insights
nor an iota of appreciation
even when I take the liberty
to dedicate a poem to someone,
attempting to share
the essence of my being
with them
because writing doesn't make
dance in a rhythmic understanding
of God's songs playing,
but instead clog their e-mail boxes.
