It's not that the words won't come.
It's that they won't stop.
They chase each other around in my head
like kittens around a couch.
like kittens around a couch.
I never know when one will pounce
demanding my full attention
only to be nudged aside by another
squirming to take its place.
I see each newborn idea
take its first steps
standing tall
stretching out
reaching wide
gathering others in to join the party.
