Why does my mind work so slowly?
Others have often complemented my
memory, intelligence and insight.
But no one has ever accused me of
quick thinking.
How many times has someone
made a statement with which
I disagree.
I just stand there, looking stupid,
while my mind races for a snappy comeback.
Nothing.
Just a blank stare.
I shuffle away, embarrassed.
Hours later, rehashing the event,
I see, I hear, what I should have said.
But by then it is too late.
Ah, the things I wish I had said.
Maybe those will come out in other entries.
Since no one is reading these
(which that's just fine),
then I can say whatever here.
And I can take however long it takes me
to say it!
Bye for now.
