that flush of excitement
(it could be the caffeine)
it gurgles—
a small stream
rises and rushes
in a torrent of thought
(if you don't follow, it will be lost)
heady now with exhilaration
you race to get it out of your head
and into shape
—a noise distracts you
(the snap of something)
and it is gone
