So glad to read about the flow

I had an uncanny experience

A year or two ago

I would be writing my book

On Hegel and the American Revolution

And all of a sudden

Involuntarily

My sentences so hard fought

Would dissolve into

Poetry

I assured my daughter who worried

About my scholarship

That poetry was practice for the book

Now things have turned around

In the craziest

Flowest way

Where I can't tell the difference

And poetry

Flows into the book

book flow poetry flow

I stop myself from singing

Into the mic at substack

So flowingly embarrassing

and an affront to musical ears

Even if of interest

To psychiatry and deep politics

I find myself

Hailing once again

The traffic

In the final scene

Of the original

Invasion of the Body Snatchers
