Another Poem About Writer's Block

"...a blank page dirty with eraser marks and tiny shavings of rubber..."

Another Poem About Writer's Block

These words are a square peg
losing to a circle,
while my last poem a blank page
dirty with eraser marks
and tiny shavings of rubber
still waiting to be blown away,
but as a drunk poet used to say,
when you're down for an 8 count
against writer's block,
you get yourself up by writing about it.
