Out of Gas

I’m staring at my notebook;

The page is lined but blank.

I’m like the driver with no map

Or gas within the tank.

 

I’ve got the engine started

But I have no place to go,

So I’m sitting here in neutral

With my spirits sinking low.

 

It doesn’t happen often

That my mind will not engage,

Yet my musings somehow managed

To get words upon the page.

 

It’s almost time for typing,

For what finally seems clear

Is that sometimes simply idling

Is enough to get in gear.
