The word’s on the tip of my tongue. It’s dangling now.
With a little shove, it’d fall and I’d be able to speak.
Instead I stare at the wall. I draw a blank and then some doodles.

I open my mouth and rack my brain and hope something comes out that makes sense. It doesn’t.
Or that I’ll understand what’s going on.
I don’t.
Translating even when I don’t have to so I’m using my mind like some parents use Blackberries on vacations.

Every day it gets easier
But it’s always only a chip in the dam.
Maybe, to speed it up, I’ll use a…
Bulldozer? איך אומרים bulldozer?

Anything to get unstuck.
