Supply and Demand


I am not lazy,
I am uninspired;
it feels like
all tanks are on empty.

The Mind,
once a grand and bustling 
warehouse of activity -
crafting poems and love songs
at fevered pace
and rushed in special delivery
while trying to keep up
with the demand -
is quiet now
as The Heart lays still
waiting for the next customer.

Poets
it seems
are not afraid
to bleed in public,
but I fear the market for it
may have dried up.

The End.
