Losing Concentration

In the middle of thought,
 A bug appears in my tea
 I watch how it swirls around in circles
 Creating patterns in the liquid,
 Catching the colours
 Of the world around it.

 I look outside To see the reflection
 And find a dove Watching me from the window.

 What was I thinking
 Before I got distracted?

 The dove takes flight And disappears.
 I look in my tea;
 Still as the air.

 No bug to be seen.

 Now what was I thinking?

A good conception of the meanderings of the human mind...
