The missing sentence

by Mitran M.

the writers block is hit
as the typewriter silences
as the author goes, "shit"
the world isn't pretty
it isnt full of prancing.
Writing is not all poetry
it is not beauty
it is not consoling words.
words are dirt.

The typewriter begins to click
the block is missed
until the typewriter revereses
and the block is hit.

The author gets up and takes leave
takes a stroll only to fall asleep
on a park bench beside a sand-pit.
it was still evening.

the writers block is hit
the deadline is strict
and on a book about penitance
the writer writes a missing sentence.





Penitence means:

The condition or quality of being penitent; regret for wrongdoing.
