Welcome to Writer's Block 101: finding inspiration in the christ figure painted in grease on your dirty plates with your host, Dan-Pen!

and, more seriously, enjoyed seeing your more literal channeling of the mundane into the poetic, a nice extension of what you've advocated a few times in class now in relation to having difficulty finding inspiration.

I had an audible laugh escape me at these lines:

If only this poem
Could make me two-dimensional /
Instead of a rollicking paper plane.

The push and pull of the esoteric, mythic and sacred next to the corporate and status quo was very interesting, maybe more so because it was framed by the now told story of the unwashed dishes - hoping that your bolt of silk lent you a silver string to find your way back.
