Analysis of I can't think.
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
I can't think when you look at me like that.
It reminds me of times of kindled flames.
Ours burnt out a long time ago or so,
I thought.
Now this juggernaut you send me makes me smile, a smile that's been stuck for many a mile.
And so I catch up to your pounding heart and we beat as one for a moment then its done.
Then we return to our hideaway yawns and inhospitable bodily functions and motions.
