Quark
A Writer's Bloc Denial in One Minute
Quark is a Republican, a fiscal conservative, but secretly he spreads thin like a gluon field; wormholing discounts to a few of the downtrodden who don’t threaten his profits because he’s an elementary entity with simple motivations involving the need to pile up, pull in until he has the monetary equivalent of a neutron, then an atom, cell or the whole fortune of a body; body naked and perhaps coated in whatever is valuable at the end of the universe.
A Writer's Bloc Denial in One Minute
There is too much poetry of
poetry, of
a poet’s love
of words, lines of
prepositions, forms as games, rhymes,
propositions
strained to fit like
last Spring’s best white
T-shirt; that once unfolded is
origami creased
and just a bit
cold and too tight.
