Drying Ink

I'm trying to keep up

with the thoughts in my head

and keep writing them in sequence

hopefully coherent

legible would be nice (for later transposition)

and even though they swirl around

at varying speeds of light

with various background music as well

it's not noisy like before

I have the will to pick my task

or choose my chore

and choose wisely my order of events

feelings are still strong

but as long as I don't ignore them

and let them out to play once in a while

it remains calm in here

and my tears are minimal

and my breath comes more easy

even as I write this at a speed

that would outpace

the drying ink

on the page

before me.
