Sore Arms

Writer’s block isn’t so much a block
Or a traffic jam
Or word you can’t remember

It’s more of a rag, long dry
That you wring between your hands over
And over again
(Until your arms hurt)
Without one drop to show for it

You happen to be very thirsty
But all you have is sore arms
And memories
Of when that rag was dripping wet

It isn’t so much a block
As an excuse to throw your pen across the room
And go eat something fattening
