i struggle to scratch down everyone's feelings without slipping off the page  
sharp pivot of a spinning mobile balancing arc whack away  
long branch of a spinning mobile i struggle to push away without slipping off the pivot  
sharp gear of a clock work i struggle to churn for i cannot move you ahead  
for you as i cannot move you ahead
