curing writer’s block
as always
when he found himself
afflicted
with a bad case of
writer’s block
he’d cure it by taking
all the money in the
house and
going to the casino
He’d always play the
roulette
and always bet on
the number 17
If he won
his money would
multiply by 36
and if he lost
he lost it all
Of course
the chances being
36 to one
he mostly lost
but losing at the roulette
brought another win,
a cure from the writer’s block
It’s simple
Where there is regret and
self loathing
and grief
and misery
and depression
and madness
there is inspiration
These are the people
the muse visits
and after losing the money he
made by pawning his wedding ring
he knew she’ll visit him
tonight
Unlike his wife
