the crow

the lines don't seem to come
the mind's an unholy mess

the crowd inside my head
only seems to grow
while i struggle in vain
waiting for the words to flow

perhaps i need some coffee
something to jumpstart the process

turn on a light bulb
that will make the idea glow
and i continue to struggle in vain
waiting for the words to flow

why is it so hard to think?
why is it so hard to share?

why does it seem so much easier
to leave it for the morrow?
damn! how i struggle in vain
waiting for the words to flow

staring at a blank page
grappling with drivel

unable to express anything
without sounding,oh so, shallow
ah, now i see why
it's all thanks to a noisy crow
cawing away
tirelessly
endlessly
noisily
enthusiastically
persistently
patiently
impatiently
jumpily
flightily
efficiently
on my living room window.
