As I sit here
And ponder in front of this screen,
Words dance through my mind
Trying to think of things to write.

I get up to make myself
A fresh cup of vanilla coffee,
I look around the kitchen
Hoping something will give me an idea.

I look at the burner covers
And think, "No, that's not good,"
As I wait for my water
To heat in the microwave.

I continue looking
Around the brightly lit area,
Lately it's been hard
Coming up with different titles.

As I add sugar, coffee and whitener to my mug
I walk back to the computer and sit down,
A blank screen sits in front of me
Even after I have written this.
