That's when thoughts don't form in words but in something like blurry images seen through a gel pad, just out of reach.
On bad language days I can't switch off and wait for better times.
On other days, when vocabulary depth is available, thoughts appear as the precise chain of words. That's when I can think what I want to think - and am not reduced to think what I can think. Sort of. -ish.

Interesting - this is exactly what bothers me as well (sometimes.. when it seems my internal bio-HD is corrupted or not accessible ...)
Then I try with joke - usually only to make things worse.
