I woke up with a pain in my chest
and all the pretty little words
ran off like frightened children
before a snarling dog.
I tried to give them comfort
but it was hard talking to their heels.
Meanwhile I lost time
sorting through false leads as I
searched for the last line of poetry.
It may be vanity or self delusion
but I hope this is just
another bad dream.
