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
