I thought of the words
all of the words were in my mind
had to hurry
write them down
put them in a poem
forgot my scratch pad
by the time I made it home
the words were gone, gone, gone
I sat there devastated
my mutt licking herself making obscene noises
phone rings
I answer it and it's a wrong number
the words were locked in my thoughts
now they are gone, gone, gone
how can that be
I'm passing the time
the words were spectacular
they were, they were
I'd sell my soul to the devil hisself
to get those words back
