tell me sir
is this where my allegiance lies?

in words
in poetry
in music
in collaboration?

attention divided
like a transport enthusiast
concurrently viewing a
train, tram and aeroplane

each in motion
each with velocity
a destination
a direction

can these words somehow connect?

can they roam free on a higher plain
but make noises discernable
form figures recognisable
sensations seizable and sizeable?

can I offer a hand of friendship?
a warm embrace in a word?
a chuckle in a rhyme?
hope in sentence
and

space?

the words may come
any time
any place

all i can do is be ready

notebook toting
sub-conscious doting

like a child
ready to capture
fireflies in a jar

a light to be held
and behold
