In desperation

I Google

“Inspire Me!”

I am answered with

Boutiques

And Storefronts

Hocking expensive coasters,

T-shirts, and bracelets.

I don’t have two hundred dollars

To drop on a dress.

I just have the urge to create,

But no fruitful ideas.

I don’t find the vases

Particularly inspiring,

Nor the jewelry.

It’s depressing when one

Calls out to the void

“Inspire me!”

And is answered with

Luxury goods

Outside of their reach.
