How can I put into words
this short-circuit, electric
screeching halt
to all things logical.
Wires rerouted from my brain
to send impulses to my heart -
thumping out a Morse code
of thoughts
and feelings
only to get lost in translation as
"I like your shoes."

(But your smile at my desperation
  for perfect words
  and a right time
  is worth any embarrassment.)
Any suggestions on how to break this up? I don't have a lot of experience with Slam Poetry, which is the style I was going for here, but a friend introduced me to Lauren Zuniga a few weeks ago and I've been wanting to try it out. It sounds a lot better spoken than it looks typed.

Finally worked out a title. -laughs-
