There isn't time for all this thinking

I'm full to the top do you let off steam then? shed unnecessary weight to remain afloat or in the air just that little bit longer? perhaps I'm overcharged with a need to be earthed? static is safe I'm sure it jUst MakEs yoU twiTchy I'm sat in my coat frowning at my phone wondering about the magic of a cup of tea thinking about that 'out of place' long line... because order and rules I'm not sure they quiet the mind being 'perfectly fine' doesn't settle me what a swizz! I'd have to unpick the whole thing to live without (w)holes I just need to pick up patch over instead of finding threads aaaaand pulling on them ahh there's the newspaper lady in my inbox asking when I'd like my poems published I can choose apparently month by month or in the edition with the supplement again I wonder if that's the same for everyone? 'entering into dialogue' there's something in that makes you feel a little bit more worth while maybe that can diffuse me for today that and a cup of tea

Loved reading this poem dear Dilly. So ‘ real’ and down to earth. I can relate so much to this with my constant rambling mind that drives me mad at times and I think a lot at that time of putting the kettle on! Love the way you’ve written this with all the pondering questions. Searching for something to still the mind and awaiting the diffusion to come. Perhaps a cup of tea does have some healing powers :) Enjoyed this wonderfully, creatively written realism. Thank you for sharing.

Better all the time DD - better all the time...and, your letter plays are so inventive/creative!---Yes...holes/whole - the switched caps in the twitch line (perfect inducing the feeling) & the stuttering brings hesitation to the thread pulling - so very much here & all without unnecessary embellishment - hooked on the feeling!

You're too kind Craig - I do wish cups of tea were more powerful but luckily moods like this one can't last that long. I appreciate your encouraging words, thank you
