New Poem: RESOLUTE
Sitting behind the Resolute Desk
Then rising to meet Kings, Queens and Dictators
It may be trying times
I might have to keep social distance
But I will wear no mask
No mask whatsoever
I refuse to look weak
As I require others to be tested,
Waiting for fifteen minutes
Until they, unlike most of America,
Find out they’re virus-free
And safe to be ushered in
To bask in the presence of Resolute Me
Then rising to meet Kings, Queens and Dictators
It may be trying times
I might have to keep social distance
But I will wear no mask
No mask whatsoever
I refuse to look weak
As I require others to be tested,
Waiting for fifteen minutes
Until they, unlike most of America,
Find out they’re virus-free
And safe to be ushered in
To bask in the presence of Resolute Me

New poem: WRITER'S BLOCK EXPLAINED
It's when you stare
at an empty white page
and can't.
Can't think of anything to say.
Can think of things to say,
but worry that millions of others
have already said them
in more profound and articulate ways.
Can think of things to say,
but fearful of criticism
once those things have been said.
And, finally,
think of someone else's statement
about writing being an activity
where you stare at the page
until drops of blood emerge.
Fearful of bleeding too much,
the decision is made to stop writing
until the moment
when writing is mandatory--
no matter what the ultimate verdict may be.
