"Did You Feel the Time~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Big"O"

So much turmoil in my life-
leads me to internal strife,
And when that happens I often struggle-
to put thoughts into a bubble.
I’m often better off...taking the easy road,
And waiting till I’m tired,
And my mind’s Unfiltered ire-
which pours straight forward on to the page-
Full of electric pixilated rage,
But, it’s the cowards way out, I know I can write,
It just takes effort and sometimes it’s easier to pout-
Then to write down what’s just got to get out.

So then my question is,
Is there a poem in here-
Inside me, that can worm its way out-
Without a specific inspiration?
I don’t know,
Is it possible for me to rhyme without a pressing need to keep the time?
Is the question that I pose, to myself and to my prose,
A valid form of entertainment or of art?
Do I write because I must or do I do so with no cause?
Is a poem done this way a work of art or the art of play?
Turning phrases as a twist of twisting phrases spawning lisps;
If the spit that spits the pits of gutter feelings from my midst pukes forth a rhyme-
Of equal lift, Then isn’t art for the artist’s sake a self indulgent purging of one’s gifts? And further more, or lisping less, Isn’t IT what IT can be without there being a being within IT?
I mean, just for foodly thought, isn’t a thought of food a form painting with the brain?
Or is a fish a food for thought that actually isn’t and never was,
But for the moment that spanned across the lobes of it's thought-bearer? Or errrs?
It’s just a question that I ask,
Since questions can’t be stated and statements can’t be asked...
Unless they’re automated.

Well, whadya’ know, I wrote and wrote and never spoke.
I thought and thought and my art unfroze-
In the instant of the flash of the fish that did not splash,
But for the micro second that it stole-
Of your thought's humble abode.
Thank you for taking the time to indulge, my rythmnless rhyme and did you feel the time?
I hope it jarred some deeper thought for its creator and those who bought-
A little-Pixel time for what now I hope must seem very, very little cost.
