Sense Race

To find and use a rhythmic way of rhyming Something sorta slow and fast and slow A hawkish circle swoop of perfect timing A half a step and turn on heel and toe Musingly methodical musicly melodical Remembered in an instant swirling flow And good to know like scallops maple bacon and merlot And a watch can be a compass Or sideway swimming in an undertow Or diving down to find the hole you fell in skating Instinctual reaction to survive experimental senses elemental consequences The train of thought is at an unfamiliar station
