How long can a blank page stay blank?
The question I’ve asked myself over and over the past few months.
It’s only once you’ve typed the question out itself,
How long can a blank page stay blank?
This is the moment you realize, your page is no longer blank
Well now what?
Do you force yourself to create an entire blog post on the basis of nothing? Do you ramble until you hit your word quota? Well unfortunately for your sorry lack of skill, you’ve already done blogs on both those of those topics so better look elsewhere!
Should you write about ISIS?
And how creative their Facebook page is?
Maybe about bondage and submission
Or how you walked door-to-door for commission
Should you write a new story?
Return your page to its past days of glory?
Should we talk about being a man again?
Because I fail to keep up with the Kardashians?
How many words can I fit on a page?
As I sit back, laugh, scoff at my age
My the diminishing child in me
Still enjoys watching Christmas specials on Disney
It feels like I’m drowning
Surrounded by oxygen
Like i’m locked in a box
With a key that I’ve swallowed
Windows that I broke
Mirrors all around
But strangely no smoke
If I could just get my foot into the door
I’d tell them how passionate I am
How high my ceiling is
How I can will my way into almost believing it
Winter is coming and my heart’s getting cold
Colder than the Winter Soldier
While he’s getting a little older
Standing next to a White Walker
Using ice cubes as fodder
In the middle of December
Oh, is that why this Christmas is drier than I remember?
So how long can blank page stay that way?
For as long as you have nothing to say
This is the milk with no cereal
Actors with no theatre
So this is More About Nothing
No Wale feature
And to those who have expected better
Really I apologize
I’ve kept my absence up
Much longer than i had prophesied
