Inspiration

A whisper trickles through my mind,
I am still.

I try to calm other thoughts and encourage this one to develop further,
It obeys me.

I start dictating--no--taking dictation,
It flaunts me.

It must have changed frequencies, I flip through,
It defeats me.

I bungle through the rest of it
Alas, I'm not as accomplished as she.

The two sections are an awkward fit,
Like a forced puzzle.

The former flowed quickly,
Like a mountain stream in Spring.

The latter crept sluggishly,
Irked at movement.

Yet they fit
However awkwardly,
And they stay that way.
