The Poet's Curse
A poetic interpretation of the artist's struggle
Words swirling around me churning thoughts
*********************that never stop every minute
***************************fitting together the pieces
**************To construct its gigantic mound
*******************************of a jigsaw puzzle
**********************and I can’t help but wonder
********Working diligently with his brothers
**********************************each word one of a million tiny shards
*****Or a telescope used to view a fire ant
****************************Is it like this
***In noise cancellation mode
*************************************in a thousand colors
2nd generation AirPod Pros
*******************************for every creative soul?
**like white noise generated by my

***drowning out my wife‘s question
*****deafening voices
********************************************struggling to pull into focus
*******cracking its 3 telephoto lenses
************************************the details of the most mundane task
*********dropped carelessly on a concrete sidewalk
***********************************in my waking life
*********** like a space grey iPhone 15 max
*********************************(*as I try to get my finger
