Sparkle Horse

It must be like trying to start a fire with damp wood;
Coaxing stubborn inertia out of its emotional cocoon.
'Throw a flint', some say.
I think, 'Hmm. I'll get the fire extinguisher ready'.

The thing about mycoplasma is you never know which came first -
Lethargy/ depression/ inertia/ boredom.

But occasionally, just occasionally
Something happens.
Short messages that stoke the dormant,
New ways that remind us
Of lessons learnt before.
Things can get better.
