A Thought Wanders Lonely

A thought wanders lonely, detached, into my brain
  Meanders through portholes of pleasure and pain
Settles in a remote chamber of my dullard's mind
  Yawns, stretches out, dons a sleeping cap
  Drowsy, relaxed -- time for a very long nap...

When -- What this? -- a tiny spark ignites
  Leaping to touch its neighbor's' dendrite
Soon my cerebrum's lit up, on fire
  Thoughts fueling thoughts
     ~ Rocketing higher and higher

Ah, the spark of inspiration! (I am not familiar with 'dendrite' - will have to look it up I guess!)
