Nuts and Bolts by Emily Sturgill 4/10/13

Nuts and bolts-

Trying to get to
the juicy stuff
the random nuts and bolts.

the mechanism
of a spinning mind
which is unable to decide;

on one word
or the other.

nuts and bolts
to begin to connect
the dots of random mechanical
thoughts.

sirens howling in the distance.
some sort of accident
slices my silence and
invades my space.

A sudden momentary
shrieking in the silence,
as I vaguely wonder,
what's the matter?

then the moment passes on by.

Where are my tinker-toys?
Where are my nuts and bolts?
Where is my steel?
Where is my out-
          how can I seal the deal;
             Where is my poem-shout?
