ear plugs shield ear drums to usher in sleep,
bath plugs hold water to cleanse,
nose plugs free children to dive into water;
these are good plugs.
mucus in sinuses, food stuck in the throat
and hype for bad books are worse.
as are plugs made of rubber or writer's block.
plugs to stop a basin needing to be drained.
leaves on a street backing up sludge.
too much paper in the loo.
take a plunger to the brain
and move the scattered debris
shake up the stagnant clutter of your thoughts
flush and rid the mind of stops
knick the periods off sentences
rid yourself of plugs
