this new work place
well, it came politely
to greet me some time ago
a year... two years
i could not remember
but it was a lightning thought
smell, colours and site
perhaps it was in a dream
the thing about thought is
you do not know whether what you think
is actually what you actually think
a polite brain that works
to give your life some excitement?
a master of ceremony knows too well
how to keep his audience - in suspense
inspired by
A thought went up my mind to-day
That I have had before,
But did not finish, -some way back,
I could not fix the year,
Nor where it went, nor why it came
The second time to me,
Nor definitely what it was,
Have I the art to say.
But somewhere in my soul, I know
I've met the thing before;
It just reminded me-'t was all-
And came my way no more.
Emily Dickinson
