Fred Aiken Writing

word block

i once tried to write for my life,
but then i forgot what words to use,
so now i just write for the helluva it,
since it makes the words no so,
well, important

weekend food//skirting responsibility

it's the weekend,
and there's a whole bunch
of errands i need to run,
or else i will run out of food,
and like my wife likes to remind me,
chess isn't going to put
anything of sustenance on the table
