The idea’s
injected

like an enema
just wait

sometimes it takes
a while

give it
a moment

(whistling)

nothing yet?

maybe run
around the chair

or hold
your breath

or hold mine
if you like

wait – something’s
brewing – can you
feel it?

oh man – I can –
here it . . .

nope, false
alarm

poetic
constipation
