they said write about what you
know.
so i wrote:

it's three a.m. it's raining out
side. my leg is falling asleep.
i am awake.

they said no thats not what we meant.
so i wrote:

it's three o' five a.m. it's still rai
ning outside. my leg is awake.
i am falling asleep.

they ran out of patience.
i ran out of things i know
to write about.

so here i am
back again
writing

poetry.
