Fresh paper
on the old clipboard
new gel pens
with blue ink
ready to cook up a poem
waiting for my muse.

Recipes for poetry:
.
Stir words with both hands,
mix into synaptic colors,
paint them on walls
again and again
until the room
screams in ecstasy.
.
Cook words in test tubes
over the burner
that is your heart,
then spread on toast
like marmalade
and feed the hungry.
.
Wrestle with words,
squeeze them,
break them into pieces,
pin them to the floor
of your solar plexus
and in the end
always let them win.
