Microstutter

 

 

Sometimes I talk

And the words don’t flow

Quite right.

Like I queue

Too many syllables

But the vocal bandwidth’s

A bit too

Tight.


A sputtering train

Chugs along cluttered trails,

Forward

As dictated by its rails.

Fails

To do so expediently

But ever obediently

Tackles the slog

Through the night.


Graffiti’d boxcars

Clump and loosen,

Bumpin’, bruisin’ 

Their way to station.

Be patient

Through the fog

And you’ll make out the light.

Upbeat Folk Song

You have much self-clarity and have created

a beautiful poem, flowing progressive language

and an absolutely masterful metaphor... Woo!

I am a glad passenger on this triumphant train.
