The Poem That Did Not Get Written

The poem didn't get written because the plane
was delayed and delayed again, the connecting flight
missed, because the hustle and hurry and long lines 
of cranky people emptied and emptied the river. And, 
there were arguments and more arguments—with self
with others, with life. And many, many unanswered 
questions. And tears. And the path has disappeared 
again. And it's getting late. And dark. And the tired 
is the too-tired kind of tired. And because it's especially 
hard to be a human right now. Because sometimes everything 
runs dry and the river forgets how to be a river.
