Metronome.



A metronome's going 
Tick, tick, tick.
And then it's suddenly stopped.
What on earth is going on?

When I'm writing...
Those pauses,
Those pauses,
To catch the next word...
You don't hear.

    Do you know the myth of Philomela and the shuttle? I think it applies: http://vos.ucsb.edu/myth.asp#cut2

      I love this myth. This is spot on what I am messin' with: "Our silenced voices."

    I might also follow up with this YouTube presentation about Zipf's Law that really beggared my imagination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCn8zs912OE
