Pay attention
to the sound your face makes
when you have your best ideas
does it crack open with gasping
or slam with words
as you pack the vapour of plans
into sentences
like suitcases
pay attention
so the next time you hear that sound
you can answer me
what were you just doing
to ripen such a marvelous thought
don’t you see
each moment waits
a second
a chance
to do less of everything else
and do more
of what makes you soar.
