the words come

what do you do if you have nothing to say

you wake up one day with the words gone away

do you stomp your feet and wring your hands

sit down with yourself and make some demands

or do you open your mind and your heart

let something flow, don’t worry about art

let your brain start to dream and imagine

allow some new letters to arrive in a pageant

not out of order, nothing like that

but just something silly that rhymes with say cat

something might happen, something silly indeed

and you learn that the words come just when you need
