Just A Piece

I don't know how
it works for you
I see a story unfold.
Strings of characters
pass through and
locations, languages
conversations, all
take a place in there.
I am simply a phantom
passing through to
witness this moment
and take what I can
Grab words and descriptive, quickly!
Don't let them get lost
Repeat, repeat
Say it again
I need paper and pen!
So much is going on around me.
I must write everything down as I remember it before I forget
how it goes and , shit!
What was the next line?
Read back again, read
Oh, I think I can find a
way to tighten it up
I try to go back but it's always hard to recall a place like that
and so much was happening there that
I hope I got enough of it
for all of this nonsense
to make sense.
