a thought is thunk
a thought is thunk
while you
passively
go about
your work.
the thought dies
without a cry,
and so
mourning it
does not seem
necessary.
later on though,
when business
dies down,
it is revived.
like jesus christ
it comes back
to life.
resuscitated.
renewed.
you reign
it in.
you hold on
tight
this time.
grasping desperately
to the frail frame
and open your mouth.
but
nothing comes out
while you
passively
go about
your work.

A poem which encourages thinking as it actually happens - grabs attention but perhaps a little pessimistic. Thoughts can stay alive and coalesce into life-giving form.
