Fleeting Ideas

There is this moment 
It’s so frustrating! 
When you think of something 
Something important 
And you’re just about to 
Write it down 
Or drop it into thoughtful 
Conversation  
And then...
POOF!
It dashes away 
Out of your head 
Out of your mind 
Out of your memory 
Without so much as a trace.

It’s maddening.
It’s as though the idea 
Had been walking toward you 
Through a deep, dark wood 
On the other side of the railroad tracks 
Approaching slowly 
Preparing to emerge 
And then... 
Just at the moment 
When it’s finally ready 
To reveal itself 
WHOOSH!
Along comes a high-speed bullet train 
To blow your idea away.
