BANGING ONE OUT
(over her and then this page)
I spark a little madness to
Life and watch as the words
Tumble out from my fingers
To the page and know that it
Feels as great as it did that
Very first time.
With so many isolating right
Now it must surely mean some
One out there is attempting what
I’m doing right now and sat
Bored of perving on some porn
Has clicked on an unused icon
And been presented with the
Writers dream of a blank page
Ready to be filled…
‘I got bored of banging one out to
Some hot young slut and now
Sit here writing something for the
First time since an award
Winning poem i’d written aged ten.’
