I was writing a poem in my head as I was falling asleep. I decided not to get up and write it down because how often do I successfully fall asleep? I learned from Tom Waits that sometimes you have to ask the muse to hold that thought for you and revisit it later. As someone who has lost much sleep, missed or been late for events & dates, or pulled over to the side of the road when the gushing stream of words gets too long to repeat this thought was a revelation to me. And, it often works. Sadly, I think this one may be gone. I have only a fuzzy sense of it. But thats ok. Ive lost a lot of words! Hell, when I lost my storage unit, I lost a complete novel. Something else will come along, probably at a very inconvenient time!
