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.

Your posts seem quite lucid to me.
