E&OE

Sometimes, when I pause After a burst of machine-gun Tapping at the keyboard And read what I typed in I discover gaps - a word, sometimes Two words or more - Phrases that had passed through my brain But failed to reach, fast enough to the tips of my fingers

Though I can type blindfolded Though I tap in unblinking Thoughts that had formed in my mind Words that had formed in my head Murmured at my lips - Slipped - Missing - Blank -

Omissions - glaring -

I am anguished - Did I omit to tell you That I love you?
