A journey of a thousand miles
Begins
With a single rhyme
So
Two lines
To be exact
All the way to page 169
A daunting prospect
Perhaps I've lost it
Trying to force it
Now, that I'm out of time
Or out of juice
Or out of poems
Like I lost my muse
On a bet gone awry
So maybe I'm searching
For anything still working
For a little bit of magic
Left on the inside
Perhaps I'm convinced
That nothing makes sense
Until I can write
To page 169
End a thousand miles
With a single rhyme
One line,
In fact
One word
At
A
Time
