Hesitation is seldom efficient. 
Moments become a weakness. 
Alone. Struggling with the blur 
from one day to the rest. You
try to see the hidden meaning.
Will you write the right words? 
Finding certain rhythm, sorting 
out time. Each step or notion, 
guarded breath or concurrent 
emotion. Seconds, then minutes, 
comprise a day. No silence with
solitude. No path. Today. Clues, 
random dogma, unclaimed truth, 
passive aggression, as you work 
your way through to the answer
in plain view. Mystery in the grid.
Seeking substance in this puzzle.
Will you look again tomorrow?
