disparate

just like a dream 

the words disappear

wisps

they float away

caught up

a current lurches

picks them up

letter by letter

now disparate

now illegible

reamed into

utter nonsense 

flattened by mortar 

and pestle 

rolled into a ball

dough

pounded

baked

burned

kicked aside

to hover in the corner
