That I washed all over my face

so I could be b     l      i     n     d

and not have to get feeling from the sights, that my mind didn't understand

m-m-my
mo-mo-mouth
begins to
mumble

of thing i haven't heard of-

when did the time go into my pocket
that it hasn't even transformed as lint
so I could touch it and it could remind me
it could remind me
could remind me
remind me
remind
remin
remi
rem
re
r

what was I looking for again?

Interesting design and write.. Not exactly sure what it is about...Maybe those thoughts that we get sometimes about a write that keep bouncing around...Keep the creative pen flowing...Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my work "The Mature Buck"...The dashes are for the reader to slow down...Think...The write was really about words and our use of them...Sara

Very clever, Jessica. I don't know what I was looking for, but I still haven't found it. I can relate to the confusion you describe so well here! Love, Carolyn
