A Plot Too Sparse

I'm no superhero
Don't argue; that's a good thing
The world makes many demands
I'm left feeling like I was rattled by a roller coaster
Or a bagel
Charred and burnt abandoned in the toaster
 
I navigated the pages
Badly
I recon I was distracted; lacking punctuation plot insight
For the record
I was either too early or too late
Isn't that the way it goes
In the heedless present sometimes we could use a break
 
Grammar came,
An aftermath of delights.
It was effervescent, banal, momentous, ambiguous.
Problem solved; not really, not so fast, 
There remains a serious lack of credit.
Every author's story is worth revisiting, or revising,
Or at the very least, in need of a good edit.

    1. Thanks. Sometimes I think thoughts are all we have. Or, more like it, all I am.
