Poem for a Dull Roar

Great, you have the time,
The skill set needed,
And inclination,

But now here’s the pain,
Filling up the space
You had set aside

For wisdom, wordplay,
And imagery.
Stupid discomfort.

Here pain, have a seat.
Try to stop coughing.
Stay in the corner.

You can watch, but please
Keep interruptions
Down to a dull roar.
