Distraction

Disordered Chaos

Lately, I find myself jumping from one thought

To the next, much like these sentences

Begin to change from the middle

Back to the start again and then

It’s too late for me to catch up to it

Before it already

Starts over again and again

Because lately, I’m so distracted that

It feels like I have no control

Over my own patterns, I fall

Into, that I call my distraction

My distraction is not logical or linear

We mix like oil and vinegar

I find myself lost in the chaos

That is my distraction

I ultimately never make it back from

Because I’ve become the chef

In the recipe for my distraction

It cannot be complete

Without me

For I am the Distractor

And the Distraction
