rivers of words

I wish words came to me

as easily as they do others.

I wish my speech flowed

or fell like fresh snow

from my mind

to mouth 

to conversation.

Instead of 

stopping and

stumbling. Crashing down,

hiding

in every

crack in

the sidewalk, as

if it were frightened 

to 

meet my lips.

Stutters

and pauses and

anything in

between

intertwine with

the complicated chords

and flows of some sorts

your mouth runs like a river.
