In this episode, Will and Ben talk about Ben's newest poem, Resistance, and talk about artists block and the creative process. Let's start simple I'll start simple - simply I'll sit at my desk and stare for a moment And while I'm staring I'll steel myself As I grab my sketch book I'll acknowledge that I have no idea what I'm about to put down And that's ok. And as I grab my pencil I will prod myself to push through this To fight the good fight Because the resistance must be put down And the lines that I am making are unsteady They are self-absorbed self-conscious And I will erase them But not yet Not until I've crushed them Not until they scream the inspiration I'm squeezing them for They work for me now Their lives are in my hands and I am a demanding supervisor These lines, as inadequate as they be, don't get to leave At least not until they've screamed Because the resistance must be put down
