522 waiting for THE word March, 2014

Waiting, while the
best word
slides into line, shoving the
better word
out of it.

Struggling for the right word
feels like jumping off
the Empire State Building,
hoping to grab a vine
on the way down,
just before the last draft
s p l a t t e r s a c r o s s
34th Street.
