COMPULSION

i am a conduit
a channel
a medium
a valve
i write because i must
i am compelled by a mysterious force
in a process that i can neither harness nor control
i am a dog chasing its tail
a cowboy pursuing a wild mustang with a lassoo
i am possessed by spirits
who or what guides me?
a magician?
a puppeteer?
a muse?
a cosmic overlord?
a mischievious monkey god?
a vengeful goddess?
an all-powerful all-seeing eye?
that moves my lips to hum melodies
my hand to scribble lyrics and poetry and prose
my fingers to pluck the strings or strike the keyboard
i am a conduit
a channel
a medium
a valve
