Blocked! ...in 12 lines

Al Gonkwin's Roundtable

"I'm blocked, Alan. You're a celebrated author. 

How do you choose what to write?"

~

"I leave that to my Muse."

~

"Ah, c'mon, that's such a cliché. Who ...what, is your Muse?"

~

"He ...she ...is not so much a Who or a What, as an Intersection."

~

 " ...An intersection?"

~

"Yeah, where my screen, keyboard and fingers meet."

~

"Ah, yes, your legendary roundtable!"

~

" Actually, a little bit above my table, hovering."

~ 

" ...Like a sweet hummingbird, eh?"

~

"Like an albatross, ready to peck my eyes out if my fingers and keyboard 

don't get something, any damn thing, on the screen PDQ!"

Hard to explain a muse. To me it is that albatross opening my skull and pulling out my brain for not being able to write fast enough and thereby forgetting important lines. I loved the poem it in its two way conversation speaks to me.

Thanks Soren! :)
Yeah, the fingers not being able to keep up with the brain is frustrating! ...haha, imagine the lines Shakespeare lost!
