In The Style Of Jackson Pollock (or not)

In The Style Of Jackson Pollock (or not)

His mind is packed full
Of useless things:
A pack of cards,
Three chess problems,
A shopping list,
Greek words he doesn’t understand,
German echoes,
Norwegian pronunciations,
Noam Chomsky,
William Labov,
Bits of poetry,
Unfinished plots,
More chess pieces,
Tears – the wet type,
Questions unformed,
Rapid Eye Movement,
Unrest.

He resembles a collage
Of intentions and denials
Trying too hard.
