Loafing around waiting for inspiration to arrive, Dropping in naturally from a party with the gods, Waiting to be gifted for that goldpan flash Which secures the sure plan and full completion Tends only to ensure no-go. In truth, right-thinkers, The inspiration notion is absurd: That falling pieces should jigsaw together, Mid-air their acrobatics with a lexicographer's precision, Denies all natural law. Yet that's our hope. Even the acorn Will not release its reticence, The embryonic ice-white shoot, Without the outward urging of the sun. And this is a cold morning. |
