Brain Lock

Little brain locked today,
working on edits
and nothing fits

It all appears
For the most part
to be
Grammatically correct
yet
not
the
way
I wish the words

At this overly
Illuminated screen
Adjusted brightness, several times,
Only to find the eyes

As it often does

until
words
somehow
fake make

in that cubby shelf, some eight long months,
but they're inanimate objects, well physically that's what they are,
yet I'm the creator, I birthed them both, and they pull this guilt trip on me.  One day, one day, yet I feel as if that day should be now.

I go to pick the first one up, but all I can get to is the title page, before this article, I wrote for a blog I started, that yet is to have it's first post attached, starts crying, "c'mon"

The
Brain
Can't
handle
these
children
bickering
for my
attention

So, I decided I'll write something new
Flip open
My idea log
But within
I forgot
how many neglected thoughts
dwell within.

and a mob
with pitchforks and lanterns
careen towards my head

Perhaps the edits aren't so bad.

Guilt
