Inkblocked

Coleridge was famously
Disturbed one day whilst writing. He
Then lost the plot, and Xanadu
Was left unfinished. False or true,
The story resonates because
To lose a thing that never was
Is like when threatened sneezes fade
Ad ultimum. You feel betrayed
By forces deep inside your skull:
What should have been a blast is dull
And so far from a pleasure dome
It’s obvious your muse went home
Because she found you unexciting.
Welcome to the life of writing.
