The distraction contraption
captures eyes and minds
fracturing focus
You won’t know why your
decisions are diverted and
your mind muddled but
it’s the way it goes
and goes and goes
A passion for distractions
led Miss Mindy to
derail her details
upsetting Arnold’s apple cart
and Sally’s side gig
Focus was foregone and
forlorn Frida fell faint
Danny ditched their date
his focus glued to
a new gadget
He lost all track of time
poking and stroking his
iThingy until a bell in his head
went dingy and he remembered Frida
alone at a table with a plate of Alfredo
on a summer’s Friday night
