Focus Pocus

Attention split like an atom,

Particles of thought splayed

On smooth cold marble.

 

Media outlets selling

Discounted sound bites

I don’t chew or taste.

 

Easy to swallow

But hard to digest…

As if I give a second

 

To a second thought,

I just keep stuffing,

Jamming info in

 

With bulimic hopes

Of making room

For coherence.
