Chatter

As the day unravels,
thoughts fly and fill each space.
Nearby boulder yawns.

The Anatomy of Distraction

Hmmm.  Now this looks interesting.
(As another shiny thing captures my attention)

I'll have to look into this. 
(As I enter full-scale planning mode)

Why, this is simply marvelous.
(As I fool my eyes and take the plunge)

OK, OK, I can do this.
(As I steel and will myself to succeed)

What joy!  How glorious !
(As I bask in my achievement, for a spell)

Look at this ! You must try it too.
(As I gloat and try to gain accolades)

Yes, I did that a while ago.
(As I smugly answer all their questions)

I think it will look good here.
(As I store it away, upon a physical or mental shelf)

I wonder what I saw in this ?
(As I discover it's inherent emptiness)

Hmmm.  Now this looks interesting.
(As I swing to another fascination)
