Broken Thought

A carnival of linguistic parallels 
celebrate at the ball of my pen.
Where elastic ideas are

stretched…  
around yesterday’s hypothesis
around today’s theory 
around tomorrow’s cognition 

I calculate, 
concentrate, 
deliberate and
think until

Strands of comprehension snap 
I perceive only inky, illiterate hiccups 
stuttering on lines of hyphenated ellipsis’ 

Staggering… 
      Confused by logic
Bemused by logic
       perplexed by logic 

The babble of broken thought, 
an onslaught of sensible gibberish 
That says nothing but says it all…
