New High Score

With the breaking blip of light
the pinball machine in my mind
shoots out the first ball for the day
it zips, zings, pings
back and forth
being flung by the bumpers
ideas fling with flurry
scurry, chasing a high score
thoughts zip past trying to catch
that one idea that'll make the machine sing
the rattling rings the victory melody
when at last my mind snags
that story idea.
Not the one I want to write,
the one I need to write.
