I stare in an idle rage at my pen, its pregnancy birthed via the papyritic placenta of the page normally a cause for joy, but alas a bloody, stillborn mess lies lexically vivisected a poorly-lit dumpster swelling with aborted ideas, negligent affirmations of affection, and metaphors fit only for scholastic aptitude testing. Yearning to express, via the purest blank ink, the inviolable swings of my fortune and passion this feather writes in swooping, disgraceful ignominy.
