usually an index card
occasionally a sticky note
as if to say
i have frozen this moment
cataloged this half-thought
to cram into my pocket
fold into the library book
tuck behind the visor
so that if
a large two letters
this slice should resurface
fluttering down from then
to the latest incarnation of now
i will drop it
tender and ready expandingly
into the page
exploding into fresh
the seamonkey the plant
the tiny foam in capsule now a giant sponge
shaped like a spaceship or a dinosaur
large grand full real
not a shrinkydink
not a shredded laundry clog
not an overdue returned forgotten

side note
While this blog's original purpose was to keep myself honest in my practice of doing daily justwrites-- 10-minute freewrites from some unusual starting points-- it has meandered to occasionally include other sorts of writing, to address other goals, and to even include other authors. Now, its main function is as a sort of verbal/ thought outcropping in public view. These are not polished pieces, and most are completely rough drafts. As some pieces may be developed through revision, your comments are most appreciated.

Half-thoughts are content to wait.
Indeed, suspended happiness!
