Misbehaving Letters--By Annie Jenkin--England

Misbehaving Letters

What's
happened?
Lines appear
playing zig-zag
on the page - picking
words to distort and those
highlighted - soon fade away.
Letters start misbehaving like
a roof slate, caught by the wind, falling
out of place, letters sliding down the page 

landing on a different row.  A verse,
sentence or paragraph all sound so
wrong to my ears.  I try tracing
lines, but fine finger tremors
don't stop the jumbled words
tumbling from my lips.
Perhaps the wind
will bring change
some day
soon.
