Mind-wandering

My mind wanders

Like

Papa-fly

Stuttering across a

Window.

 

Stop-

Start.

 

Unpredictable

Meandering.

 

Illogical

Connections

That tie one moment

To the next.

 

Psychic

Tag.

 

When I was a kid

They used to play Jew-bug;

This meant

That you would infect person A with person B’s bug.

 

Anti-Semitic

Contagion.

 

The trick however was to re-infect the earlier person

With the bug

Then run off yourself.

 

Peaceful playground moments

Interrupted

By

distemper.

 

They say

That

The more your mind wanders

The greater

The likelihood of

anxiety

or

depression

That is perhaps

Unless you are a Beach Boy

and

Surfing.

 

Although

Even they,

I guess

Must have their moments.
