I don’t have anything smart to say

yet words keep spilling from my fingertips

it’s not for desire of eloquence goodness knows I am not grammatically correct

yet to stop is given up

so qwerty plays across the page

visitors to my psyche strike conscious attentions

I call them emotions

some call them foolish

others don’t call them at all

anymore they are and I accept

though today the rending of some

leaves me a bit speechless

weary of the tender tearing between my rib bones
