Type Slowly by Pavement
again, not overtly about writer's block, but if someone is typing slowly, then they are unsure of what they would like to convey...
or at the very least, the act of typing slowly indicates a certain deliberateness...
Sherri you smell different
Get up early in the bed
For you morning comes so easy
Spells have been cast and the urge has been lost
Snipers posted bills as they of our midnight vacation
Back on the planet nowI'm beginning to see just how
You echelon your dreams and they'll come true
Type slowly
One of us is a cigar stand
And one of us is a lovely blue incandescent guillotine
The edge of creation is blurred and blushed
Not a lot of room to grow inside this leather terrarium
People of the bay
It is excruciatingly grey
Face the front when he comes for you
Type slowly
Cherish your memorized weakness
Fashioned from a manifesto lady I am no futurist, etc.
Trolls in the glen are consorting again
The liberals say they don't exist but I know they do
Reïnforce your literal ass
Hit it on the first or second pass
Frozen images suspected few
Type slowly
Type Slowly
