Scatter brain
Sunny day it is “City with the best weather” — Mocks everybody Disregard and snuggle on to The friction of my favourite couch With the spiral-bound text Excited for an enquiry on a subject Wanting to burrow for the familiar warmth Now a bittersweet hobby and also livelihood Words slowly swim into nothingness Eyes trail to the balcony and glaze over Why not build something? This, that and that, this Maybe more inspiration, I need to read Well, let me think aloud on Roam notes Or maybe scroll through the apps Algorithms of thought? I do need dynamic models of thought Static mental models no more If there’s a disaster, the hubris will not close For desires aplenty there are stacked all over Only still buoying toward dreaming bigger Oh wait, why so scatterbrained? And search for poetry on the phenomenon To find some solidarity from strangers Only to scatter back to dreams through Poe And find it a symptom of overwhelm All while being stationary to an observer With only fingers going tip-tap To rein in the scatterbrain Is but in vain
