Dancing with Distraction Challenge

Disturbances are always tolerated

If they come with ideas about ideation!

Susurrating thought, drink

To the finest hole of escape under threat of

Real responses.

Art and

Chaos

The source of our making.

I toe a line in the sand for focus and sense

On which I would gratefully expire,

Never preoccupied again.
