Still, fruit rots on my table.

I approached the canvas with a bananna in mind.
Somehow brush became pen and mundane, well,
You'll notice no multifaceted fruit occupying me.
Today, it's a hole where wholes once stood,
And how-the-fuck do I draw that? You leave me
Lost for imagery though not for words. Logorrhea.
My strong suit, not so much in spewing but clarity;
That is, if you're listening and I'm talking to you,
'Cause I'm trying to paint the void and what it's filling with.

Was your first thought wrong?

      Thanks. I'm confused about the frustration and angst thing though. Maybe I used the wrong words.

    It's always the picture you really want to paint that never comes out right isn't it. I wonder what my first thought was. Either way, I'm sure it probably was wrong. You sort of learn by being wrong, or seem to. Or maybe we never learn at all, just adapt.

      I like that it doesn't take you much work to find a mental simulation of what a poet looks like writing the work you just read. You take everything from this that's left there for everyone, and since it's so easy for you, it makes me think you might have seen this poems undergarments. It's ok, you can look at whatever you want; the girl might get a bit uncomfortable knowing you can see though.

        I have magnificent x-ray glasses. The thing is, your poems have some of the best panties. And always a nice tail end. The bikini line is always trimmed to perfection, and the crotch never hangs loosely like a wet plastic bag in the wind. You have an eye for detail, and much more to the point, an attention for detail. I see no more than you, most likely less: you spent more on your x-ray glasses, but I like the fact that we bought the same brand.
