The Effort

The Effort

Struggling
Today,
Looking 
For
A 
Way.
My
Editor
Is
Sitting
On
My
Book.
I don’t
Like
The
Outlook.
My
Painting
Baffles
Me,
So 
How 
Can 
Anybody
See
This
Glimpse
Into
The
Heart
Of
Me?
Every
Day
I seek
The
Plastic
Grail,
Begging
Silent
Gods
Not
To 
Fail,
Making
My
Audacious
Mark,
Working
Constantly
In
The
Dark.
