20 Minutes

20 minutes, the clock is ticking
Not time to be picky
About the words I’m picking
What to write about
I don’t know
Can’t express feelings
Or emotions show
Those take too much thought
Random words and time
Are all I’ve got
Dammit!
A moments of writers’ block
While I’m racing against the clock
Just gotta keep typing
And typing and typing
Gotta quit my griping
No time for distraction
Just keep my fingers in action
See what words come out
See what this poem is about
Probably about nothing
The words are in my head
But they need to be on paper instead
They float in the air before me
Try and catch them and put them into a story
But a story about what?
My mind is stuck in a rut
No real subject comes into mind
And I’m running out of time
This puts me in a bind
Especially to make this rhyme
All I have left is about nine minutes
Now this poem, I’m deeper within it
Can’t keep my eyes off the clock
About what should I talk?
Too late to decide now
But still in the beginning
I couldn’t firgure out how
To do any writing
That might be award winning
Damn, my lines are getting lame
Hopefully the words I’m writing
Won’t start sounding the same
Although, the clock might save me
And violate this goal
I’ll try not to do
And be caught misbehaving
Oh God! Only three minutes left
I have to start closing
How am I going to finish this?
I must start supposing
How about just ending it now,
Because in the time it took me
To think of these last few lines
My time has run out.
