No! No,
it just won’t work.
I tried to make it a Ferrari
and then a pig.
I considered a couch
a song
and a paramecium
but none of them fit the role
I wanted them to inhabit
in that particular turn of phrase
in the poem.

Writing is hard, guys
and I don’t think I’ve been presenting
just how hard it can be.
Normally
I give the impression
that it’s fucking effortless
so you get misled
but coming up with the right phrase?
Making sure your central theme at the start
is fully executed by the end?
It can really take a lot out of you.

I’m good
but I’m not perfect, you know?
Like…
a car in a pig’s couch?
a donut for paramecia?
I’ll get it eventually.
