you know when you get that feeling
         that you just can't think of anything
    the paper is white, staring
                 waiting
and you feel empty inside because you can't think
                      of better words than cliche
         that's been used a thousand times
         crumpled beside the bed in the trashcan
         dug out again flattened and expectorated
                 like something new just because of
         small variations here or there |
   but the lines are all the same verse |
   as before, a statement that's worse  |
   than just screaming to get it out    |
like an ingrown blackness dug under skin|
impossible to remove like knowing me you|
they while impotent in the face of being|
                                     sin|
     that's an act before you were terse|
without concern because ideas are so old+

Very intriguing, I loved the format. Very intereting and I enjoyed it very much. I loved it.

I've been gone for a few years, and Fractal is still here, and he's still got it. Nice write. Ironic name
