UNTIL

poetry is
the easy way

simplicity itself
line

of least
resistance

a quantum wave
of words
about to
flow

no huge
necessity this
be

in any structured
shape, size
or form

any
particular direction

in your head
mon lecteur acad-
                 emique
length
     of line
geometry of page
                slice and dice
of caesura
stanza

and here
we have a bitch of a poem
that refuses to budge

your fingers hovering above
the page
      a picture of frustration
portrait of
inertia

nothing ever seemed
so impossible
      until it didn’t

nothing even
   beginning to flow until
it would
not stop

poetry is difficult until
it isn’t

poetry
   is no way
easy

until it is

until
(out of nowhere)
it writes itself
