I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
And so the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

King of Suck

There's a little plot hole in the draft today
It's the same thing I wrote yesterday
There's passive voice from the bottom to top
There's a lotta blank pages and the suck won't stop

I have written this before while driving my truck
With world building problems running 'round amok
I guess I'm always hoping the muse won't get stuck
But it's my destiny to be the king of suck

There's a little plot hole in the draft today
That's my suck laid bare
It's the same thing I wrote yesterday
That's my suck laid bare
There's passive voice from the bottom to top
That's my suck laid bare
There's a lotta blank pages and the suck won't stop
That's my suck laid bare

I have written this before while driving my truck
With world building problems running 'round amok
I guess I'm always hoping the muse won't get stuck
But it's my destiny to be the king of suck

There's archaic uses in my Wordle word cloud
That's my suck laid bare
There's descriptions as bare as a plain white shroud
That's my suck laid bare
There's pov changes in the middle of the sentence
That's my suck laid bare
There's beta readers acting like reading me is a penitence
That's my suck laid bare

I have written this before while driving my truck
With world building problems running 'round amok
I guess I'm always hoping the muse won't get stuck
But it's my destiny to be the king of suck

There's whole brain dumps that need to be thrown out
There's metaphors that smell like week-dead trout
There's no resolution when the story comes to an end
There's still typos in my submissions when I hit send

There's red ink spilled all over this draft
That's my suck laid bare
There's problems galore with all of my craft
That's my suck laid bare
There's a little plot hole in the draft today
It's the same thing I wrote yesterday

I have written this before while driving my truck
With world building problems running 'round amok
I guess I'm always hoping the muse won't get stuck
But it's my destiny to be the king of suck

King of suck
King of suck
I'll always be king of suck

I'm writing. How's your day going?
