on writer's block...

I'm a great writer
speeding down the freeway at 70 miles an hour,
out for a peaceful Saturday morning run,
or elbow-deep in sudsy dishes.

But when I finally sit down,
monitor and keyboard expectant,
waiting to pass judgment

Turns of phrase, ideas, complete paragraphs
simply evaporate,
washed down with the bubbles and dirty water.
