You capture this moment that all writers, and I'd imagine artists, can relate to. I've had all too many moments of rounding my lips and forming vowels that make words that are hanging right there at the tip. My hands always round out before my eyes too, as if looming over a magic crystal ball that'll give me the answer. It's nice to return to a vintage C. Andrew's poem.
The "hanging on your hook" line is outstanding and puntastic. I like the parallelism of the first and last stanzas because it's subtle since I finally noticed it after a third read.
As I've mentioned before. I like how over the course of your idiom poems, you accept some as truths while refuting others. It's good stuff, keep it up.

hanging on every word. I missed Friday. My apologies.
