sneak away
then we can hand
away intoit when
ifit becomes real
in an instant
all light clears and...

YES
can see it all
At last
A wonderful clarity!
No more bumping into each other
but Thoughts Concepts Ideas
gliding each through
like transparent protozoa
visible scintillating across my inner sky.
Magnificent Synaptic Cohesion
Shining like Laser Light
Meshing Melding making Magnificent Music.

I KNOW!
I have the Key finally
Please
May this vision last long enough for me to...

But no
how can I hold on
I will lose control
the second I think of
anything so mundane as
a pencil stencil
typeshape dissipate cloud
roll sold gonecold
thumb thunder
crumpleup
undone
