in the beginning

how do i begin?
what do i say?
do i let my mind do the talking
and my fingers do the walking?
should i blow you away with the words i cant find,
and give you some hidden meaning in disguise?

they always say inspiration is key
or were they talking about creativity?
dont they know this is frustrating me?

think fast.
but dont over think,
lets think this through.
all we gotta do is think. think. think.

"impressive," whispers the critic
"unique," says the artist
"amen." finishes the preacher
"objection!" shouts the lawyer
"overruled." declares the judge.

how do i end?
what do i say?
how do you announce closing time
and cloak it in a nursery rhyme?
blink once. twice. three times.
and watch our shadows
disapear
