ME affects the brain.
\nWords escape. A sentence
\non a page is meaningless,
\nand yet, you know there is
\na meaning somewhere there.<\/p>\n

If you are patient, read it
\nagain, you understand.
\nYou misread a word, altered
\nsense quite clearly expressed,
\ninvented gibberish.<\/p>\n

Poetry’s impossible.
\nA string of words, threaded
\nlike beads down a page,
\nremains a mystery.
\nYou fail to see the thread.<\/p>\n

Writing is so difficult.
\nLetters misform. Typing
\nis hit-and-miss. Process
\nthe words, and like a stick,
\nspell-check helps you to limp.<\/p>\n
