After writing,
Reading late,
Too tired and tense
To take the author’s sense,
My mind a metronome
That keeps its proper beat,
Always starting and alighting,
I strive to mark as if it were my own
The other’s pulse too stuttering and slow,
To pull his periods straight,
To stretch them tighter than the vibrant bow
That speeds the arrow home.
