On the edge of understanding
something I should know
Like a word or name
on the tip of a tongue
Mounting frustration
commandeering my attention
and common sense
It is only a matter of time
until I do something large
and out of line

Sometimes frustration can get the best of us.

Funny how frustration can bring out the Godzilla in us (then our words don't sync with our mouths) Yikes!

...or when someone doesn't understand what you're saying. Clarity is obscured from one of two positions:

Transmit & Receive.

Frustration is born from a suffering of either.

Touch, but don't look

I love it when people use the "i" word.
My pleasure to have taken you there.

Yep, the edge of understanding is a slippery slope, Lori.
