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!

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. 😁
