I can’t identify
all the words I said.
They tumbled out quickly
precariously
clumsily
then crashed
into each other
and
f
e
l
l
to the ground
in p i e c e s.
I don’t know
if I am missing phrases
words
letters
or parts of all of them,
or
if that’s how I put them out there
because they were jumbled
and incomplete
before I spoke.
What I do know
is they don’t add up,
and I can’t put them together correctly
or put them back
where they came from.
