Trouble [ ]ing

Ever have one of those days
where your thoughts are in constant flight
unable to sit still

music blasting loudly in an effort to drown them out
but how can you
when the thoughts themselves are indistinct
easily distracted by a flight of fantasy
or a sleight of hand

I read about about middle child syndrome
what it means to be a 90's kid,
looked up my ESL teacher,
listened to Bruno Mars,
ate ganache
checked facebook, my email
stared at customers around me,
texted,
edited papers for a friend,
worked on my personal statement,
looked at my browser history,
read the pros and cons of electronic books,
looked up ideas to inspire the muse within
looked up magical ice monsters in an attempt to find the largest of the bunch,
listened to a U of M professor talk about vampires,
read a Wikipedia article about Adler,
looked up Lazarus,
watched Once Upon a Time,
found the name of the movie Red Riding Hood
all within the past 3 hours.

Some would say I didn't accomplish a lot
But I beg to differ

Nevertheless,
I will my mind to peace
to be quiet for long enough to allow me to focus
but it's too late
My undisciplined mind has already tasted freedom
