I wrote this during brunch yesterday. It was the first day in seven years that I wasn’t filled to the brim with medications.

What dance is your distraction?
Dirty, I bet, like Swayze; or maybe Indian Bollywood bhangra beats, Square for formal, samba for saucy! Tango? Dramatic, muted passion simmering...

Why am I so Easily Distracted?
Disturbances. Everybody is always interrupting me, asking for something or other. I don’t know where your sneakers are. They’re most likely in the last place you left them.

Distracted by the Demon. Content Warning.
Distracted by its presence I can't help that it is around running in the midst of the scene Seen his sharp pointed horns coming out of his forehead like a rosebud blooming from its thorns
