PEN IS THERAPY

Lying in the prone position
            With instrument in hand
The words are ejaculated
            Upon the lines of this page.

After so much rubbing of the mind
            The satisfaction pours out
Leaving a sticky sense of ease
            And relaxation all about.

As the words inevitably come
            The tool of poetry becomes
Easier to hold and eventually
            Starts to flag returning
The mind to its usual flaccidity.
