OCD

Chris Butler

I’ve rewritten this poem,
this line, so many times that
I forget where it began;
initial ideas inside
sequential thought bubbles, burst
over their impure circles,
so I have to write each word
three times-three times-three damn times,
until I write that next-next-next,
to find that one final line-
and finding some final line-
by finding the final line.
