Thankfully,
In my small city I get caught often
on the sidewalk
walking, running even
just to get exercise
or when I want a coffee
in the morning before work.
.
A boisterous blow in the form of language
opinions, experience, knowledge to know
anything that prevents me from speaking
and ruining the train of thought
.
Thankfully,
I have the gift of tight penmanship
words of my own
whispers against spent breath
when I don’t speak, but only write
to arrange words before letting them fly
out of control
to some poor someone, listening.
