How Do You Do That

Words are flinging and flailing, ferociously flipping and flying.
I watch it happen, helpless to get any control; for they are frenzied.
My muse rolls her finger around her ear, indicating their craziness.

Isn’t part of this ….us? I ask her? Trixie has answers for everything.
She puts her finger into wet paint on a brush and flips dots on a page.
They begin to prance around, making perfect poetic prose.

How do you do that? I ask her, amazed. She is a wonder.
The words start rearranging themselves, until they are even better.
Numbers try to find a place but they are annihilated with a look.

Trixie and I both despise math.

Hmm...I always hated math too. Now strangely, I am into numerology.
