Poem #17: Old Man Blank Page

.
.
.
I've been pouring over a blank page,
staring at it for hours;
sometimes writing and rewriting the same line,
or erasing the whole thing
and going back to the blank page.
I think, instead,
I'll just watch "Show Boat" on the tube instead
and perhaps some simile will come--
like a blank page and the Mississippi.
