"Hither and Yon My Mind"

Hither and yon my Mind gaping
like a thankless void
scatters itself wildly about the cosmos.
Stopping here and there
on this and something else entirely
Pink, or else
elephant.

Hither and yon my mind disjointed
like a jigsaw newly tumbled
on the card table of bric-a-brac.
Is this a sheep I see before me?
If you punch me, do I not flee?
Alas poor Yorick,
I knew him well
once upon a time.

Hither and yon my mind skips
across the hopscotch of existence
at random and without form.
listening to the jumble
sighs and cries and animal calls
of suburbia,
then the screen is filled with
static and white
Shhhhhhh....

Hither and yon, there and gone,
like a lemon in the shade
Sometimes always never
sings his serenade.
Sigh.
I hate ADD.
