Poem -
Fear of Word Blindness
Banks of blank ivorine
stacked high but
thinly like old oriental
lacquered tsuba ..
Each scream both loud
and high enough
to shatter those fragile
hand blown
champagne flutes you
long treasured ..
Whereas, somewhere
else completely,
rows of old scribes sit
cross legged
in their temples calmly
contemplating
white noise but fearing
word blindness
tho still craving obscurity ..

Fear not Neville, This comes and goes, from time to time.
I love the phrase..,”banks of blankÂ
ivorine stacked high”.Â
What a beautiful way to express the feeling of word blindness.Â

We all do from time to time Tina .. best thing to do is think about something special you have either done or want to do .. and sleep on it .. or him .. I am now feeling supremely indulged and can't thank you enough for the time and attention you have lavished upon me n my scribbles .. xxxxÂ
