A Bad Smell

              

The blank page staring back at me

Has the rank smell of yesterday's unsold smelt,

Though I haven't scribbled a single inky word.

 

Could it be that the paper senses my thoughts, emotions,

Hovering above its blue-ruled space,

Anticipates imminent defilement,

 

Realizes a truth about me I haven't yet discerned?

Could it be that something inside me has died,

And it's just begun to rot?
