Deliberate Vocal Poem

It would be so easy

to idle in familiar cafés,

dithering over books to return,

possible snacks to purchase,

coffee to enjoy before cold and sour.

*

It would be easy to put on my

Serious Writerly Face

(trademark pending),

surrounded by the others and their screens

(well-worth pretending that we are all writers),

I could put down some unnecessary stationery

(old addiction),

fancy pen and then, what...? Create and disassociate,

perhaps inspire through a book-box discovery,

library find, online surf.

But no, it is better

To go right to the screen,

anticipating that there will be

a clear thought that will take me

over the word count

(see what I did there?)
