Distraction

 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
