Scatterbrain.

He wants to know 

beyond the basics.

Sometimes questions swirl

in my brain like a tornado.

I know little

in my highs & lows.

To not be caught walking

in a gray cloud

set for us by time.

The dizzying height

calling me in.

The mind is no fairground ride.

There is no song

for a complicated knot.

Life is filled to the brim day by day by day. Not yours, only a list scribbled with things that must be done.. but nowhere says, 'Take a breath, gaze at the clouds, look at distance between you and somewhere you want to be..

' The mind is no fairground ride.
There is no song
for a complicated knot. '

That knot has to be loosened. That knot has to be ignored. That or you will end up that knot and finish the hours without choices. More than likely! (I know the thoughts behind this wonderful post)

Debate this poem..

i sometimes fit this description and when do 'tis no poetry in motion. like the old saying, we'd forget our heads if they weren't attached. well said. now where was i?

the last three lines are so impactful...life for me feels like this...the absent minded professor...
the complicated knot...
it loosens badly sometimes.
