The Catalyst for Your Agony - Robert Vogt
reading was the catalyst that pushed you on into this writing torture
added bashing out words to the pain of producing huge abstract expressionist influenced images
just stick with the punk guitar you were a natural no creative pain
no desire to ram a paint brush through a canvas
none of this “Wish I was just back there a kid loving the drug-hypnotic reading thing”
you had the crazy idea that just because that was great you might wanna write too
HA HA!
you remember when you prayed to little baby jesus that your band would break up cuz you were on the verge of making it? and you couldn’t deal being roped into playing the devil’s music…FOREVER
well jesus answered your prayer with a big fuckin YES!
and now you can’t finish that hellish essay

hell hath no fury like an essay unfinished!
Ha ha!
Nice poem. I can relate to love of reading turning into the pain of writing. Neck and shoulders tho! Jesus answered my prayers too lol
Funny ending
Thanks! Yeah, it's funny how the two activities are engaging the same thing basically, but so different. Neck and shoulders, I hear ya. 😃 Glad to hear about your prayer answer. 😁
