Fifty Per Cent Poem by Alexandre Nodopaka

Fifty Per Cent



I thought of writing a half poem.
Just half page. The left side.

But I didn't have enough words
even to do that.

Every time I'd start a declaration
the ink in my fountain pen would

stop flowing because it was so thick
with meaning it would clog the slit

in the nib. and so my pen was full
of half-finished poems and similes.
