--
There are times,
sometimes moments,
sometimes hours when
every word comes out just right:
every syllable in the precise spot
the timing
impeccable.
Other days are a jumble:
stacks of mismatched syllables
a collection of
nonsense;
indecipherable
I sit looking at my disoriented keyboard,
as a blank screen fills up with
clumsy blocks of text,
stanzas with amnesia.
A single keystroke, and
the chalk is
erased,
the dust
settles
.
