Scrabble

Okay,
so it's like this...
if I write just to see the words
arrange themselves on the page.

And I throw some words
at the page everyday,
day after day...

Then somewhere in the unknown future,
the words will start behave
And the right words for the occasion,
like the right red-dress,
will fly off my fingers,
hit the right keys,
give the right series of
oughts and noughts for the computer
and slide onto the screen
smoothly.

They will sit there,
stored,
until I later decide
to re-read my meanderings
and they will amaze me.
