Skipping gears

The brain slips

now and then

Skips a gear

Rattles and clinks and chinks

Chugga-chugga, galoop, galoop.

Derails eternal minutes.

Lame, limp.

 

Swirls of breath float to the nostrils,

Just there, just enough.
A full millisecond tasting life,
life as it is, delicious

The brain hugging the gears,
runs smoothly,
Alert, aware.

No chinks, no galoop,galoop

Life flows.  You might miss it though, if you
didn't know what to see.
