There was something
a thing I was going to say
but it seems to have escaped me.

It’s so annoying
when that phrase
that concept
that innovation
the thing that was scratching around
somewhere in your skull,
just on the tip of your tongue
will simply refuse to leave or lips
and enter the atmosphere
as expected.

It was such a strong theory
or belief
or argument,
I think.
Whatever it was I was thinking of
it was top-rate
and I am completely and unequivocally exasperated with myself for not being able
to bring it into the world.

I swear
as soon as I know whatever it was
I was talking about,
I’m gonna shout it out
and it’s gonna knock your socks off.
