Sun through window,
Clock ticks.
I stare into space,
Blank mind like empty canvas.
Pen taps,
Doodles,
Failed slaughterer of time.
Work unfinished,
Clock ticks.
Cold coffee untasted,
I look at unread my emails,
and ignore them.
Facebook?
Clock ticks.
Clock ticks.
Clock ticks.
Shuffle papers,
Move mouse,
Press keys,
Clock ticks.
And thus forever!
This is catchy, with a well-sustained mood.
But I think there is a major difference between work 'unfinished' and work 'unstarted'. And something must appear/happen on screen if you 'press keys', even as an unfocussed fiddling, like the 'doodles'. Maybe the 'writer' needs to settle on the medium preferred, blank paper or screen. IMO, there is no such thing as a blank screen- information encircles you constantly, ordering you to be productive in an organized way - very off-putting - bossy.
Ha Ha! Jacqueline, this reads very familiarly. I think if you trawled through WOL long enough you'd find a lot of work in this similar vein.
I was once told, never start off with a blank piece of paper (could also be blank word document) as all you do is stare at it..
Good to see you've settled into WOL so well.
