Not Write In the Head

The words that are inside my head Are written out different to what head led. The thoughts and images are sometimes clear Then fuzzy and foggy as if soaked in beer. My head has lots of things to say But hand and pen does not obey. The hand refuses what head wants used Which leaves me feeling very confused. The vice and versa or versa and vice Makes me think double twice. The muddle and missing go hand in hand Words thinly stretched like elastic bands. What I write may not make much sense Or roll out beats like a military band set. As my hand and head get in a huff A word battle is fought called wordy-cuffs. Maybe it is stress or over thinking Or too much wine I could have been drinking. "Or maybe I'm not write in the head" Claims a voice I can hear from inside my head. 07.09.23
