ABZs

After a brief night's sleep and a long day at work I am
beginning to run out of steam.
Can I create something coherent?
Does my weary brain have anything worth
extracting and putting on paper?

Fresh air and a walk
give me nothing.
How will I create?
I must write.
Just write.
Key the letters, the words.
Long and languid,
move the pencil along the paper.

Nothing.

Obscure thoughts,
People and places.
Questions and answers.
Ruminations.

Still nothing.

Too tired, I am
unable to make words, I am
very sleepy, I am
waiting to lay down my head
yawn, stretch
zzzz....
