Reading this book
interesting premise
noticing the temperature
rising
am I sweating?
or flashing
let me get a blanket
where are my shoes?
slippers I mean
stepping on
the floor
when was the last time
I swept
I see crumbs
hey, Child bring me the broom!
it’s in the other room
don’t make me go there and find it
here, it is right here
who didn’t put up the dishes?
I don’t care who called
get it done
but first I need a snack
and a cool drink of water
hmmm
what was I doing?
oh, the book
let me get back to it
before I get distracted
Distracted. Your examples of distraction could have easily described me during the marathon!! Smile! Your poem flows and I commend you for focusing on your writing!!
