my fascination is today with the not quite seen those flickerings in the periphery visual line the yet to be thought half formed nebulous inklings mind wrinklings the words balancing precariously on the tip of the tongue the song of joy or sorrow yet unsung the dance step stagnating in the toe-tap the poem waiting to be found in the shadow of the corner of almost and rhyme these are the things that fascinate that whittle and while away at my precious time
