Writer's Block
by B. Z. Niditch

Among sunless times
falling like paperweights
in polished midnights
wanting pot
when I do not smoke,
railing to ride out
this second wind,
looking at playbills,
bookjackets, my watch
thinking of moron jokes
about time,

murdering this donut
taking the whole spring
to lose out,
hating this winter cold
but without family remedies
for a cough that droops
into the morning.
I watch the large Evergreen
socketed by rain
wondering if it's all
about reflection.
