Distractions

Distractions

By Brandon Palzkill

Everywhere I look,

something waits that’s tailor-made

to keep me looking, indefinitely.

Shiny, flashy, loud, enticing,

pushing buttons, turning knobs,

colorful images

keeping me enthralled;

I count myself a mindless drone,

lost in their playful seduction.

Other things that need be done,

abandoned by the wayside

of my ever-fluttering

attention span,

and all my humble endeavors

are continually wasted,

as the clever spell takes hold, again,

my night is so complet-

ooh, spiffy… be right back!

My Thought Process

My Thought Process

By Brandon Palzkill

I sit around, sometimes,

losing myself in thought,

but my thoughts often

get away from me.

I think about anything;

about everything;

thoughts that take my focus

from the one thought

I’m meant to keep to.

I try to think my way back

through the mess to find

my train of thought,

to take hold of that

one important thought

in my head,

but then I over think it

and I lose myself again.
