The microwave is humming
And popping of corn excites my stomach
It's four in the afternoon
I am writing my third or fourth poem
Eating popcarn as I watch this film
I multi-task these things
Hoping I can write another poem
I get bored reading poems i’ve already wrote,
Expecting a new calling,
A new amazing visualization while memorizing previous verses.
Even when I can’t think of a topic,
I need a breakthrough
I feel the need to write something full of power,
Full of emotion

Jump Jump The Bills Are Due
Hurry Hurry The Bills Are Due
The Phone Is Ringing, The Bills Are Due
Have No Life The Bills Are Due
Run Run Run The Bills Are Due
Friday Night To Saturday Try'n Have Some Fun
Sunday Get Ready Run Run Run
Jump Up Early Come Monday
The Bills Are Due
I’m that fatal kind of bored
The kind where the world is silent but somehow screaming
The kind when all color is gone but painfully bright
The kind where I’m numb but shattering
The kind where I’m stuck in place but flying through the dark air
The kind where my breaths are too deep but I’m suffocating
The kind where life is overwhelming, purely overwhelming
The kind where I want to escape, but I need to stay
The kind that beckons from the black night but calls from the bright light above
The kind that is nothing but everything
......
I used to consider myself
The most normal of specimens,
And thus, felt it odd
To utter a single word.
The regular consequences
Of having been born.
But everything I want
