Aluminum Muse

This just in
words are not exactly like
Aluminum
you can not touch a word.
Words can only be heard
when listened for.
Words can only be moved
by the muse.
The muse used like a crutch
its writer grasping for a hold
on something tangible.
They will stumble and tumble
But the world will look on with marvel.
“That writer just fumbled—here we thought
we'd see a writer with skill.
No.
Instead we see a writer who's real.”
And just between us,
the world can tell no difference
in distance between madness
and genius.

Really, I can't think of a single thing that is more attractive than an adventurous doctor and snarky detective fighting supernatural crime in 1800s clothing. Sorry, Johnny Depp. Maybe another week.

Sherlock Holmes:You've never complained about my methods before.
Dr. John Watson:I've never complained! When have I ever complained about you practicing the violin at three in the morning, or your mess? Your general lack of hygiene or the fact that you steal my clothes?
