Indistinct, non-descript, just a shadowy form,
lacking substance, as vague as its' outlines are blurred.
With a tenuous grasp, as is always the norm,
it appears to have followed my every word!

I'm pursued by this thing almost relentlessly,
for, it lurks in the backround wherever I go.
Changing course, just that quick, with such accuracy,
it would seem every move I would make, it just knows!

It is cunning and crafty, and, always right there,
insidiously stalking me, never to fail.
Like a dog going 'round in a circle it's fair,
to ask who's chasing who, is it me, or my tale?

Doc,
Cute. I had an uncle with a little dog that seemed to chase its tail until it dropped.
================================
With a tenuous grasp, as is always the norm,
it appears to have followed my every word!
================================
But might the confusion be in the lack of communication? Just a thought.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
