Premium MemberDon'T Quit Your Daydream

To ponder why,
In deep dismay
To Daydreaming in the stream of consciousness
Mixed in mind and heart desires
That detaches from current task and test,
Don’t quit your daydream

Trance aid fantasy
Intervision encapsulates me

Hallucination musing
Don’t quit your daydream
Imagining inattention gathers
Inattentiveness woolgathering preoccupation
Don’t quit your daydream
Emotional brooding
Obliviousness engrossment
absentmindedness Self-absorption

absence of mind
staring into space
abstraction
Don’t quit your daydream
lack of concentration lack of application
figment of the imagination
unrealizable dream Home is castle in the air
Wishful thinking fond hopes Self-absorption

Wishing upon…
Whatever it is Don’t quit your daydream

Premium MemberThe Back of Dad's Chair

The back of Dad's chair is black like a void,
its mid discontinuous of solid support.
Cushion coils creak as his weight shifts,
his interest unhinged from light hypnosis.
The scuff of rough wheels rub fine lines in  
encumbering crumb-crusted floorboards,
which mundanely sustain the weight
of a burdened waistline and wasted years.
He forfeits the fortunes of a father: favor and honor,
as points tabulate and clock ticks wick up 
the last of my sapped up, tapped out tears.
His glowing, giddy face is unfazed, 
too focused on fantasies to notice me.
Dad's back trespasses my passive stares,
his incessant inattentiveness ingrained
like the prison-bar stripes on the back of his chair.

Addled

Restlessness, impulsiveness,
loquaciousness, compulsiveness,
distracted inattentiveness 
and tangent railway tracks.

Complexities, anxieties 
and dopamine deficiencies.
Instant gratification please,
relief for my synapse.

Procrastination, wired sensation,
biochemical frustration,
forget to take my medication. 
Frontal lobe relapse.

Rapid heartbeat, fidgety feet,
hypervigilant, unable to sleep,
central nervous system freak.
Neurological cracks.

Shadow

On inattentiveness
Still startles his shadow,
My shadow!

Like a sudden loud wind
Knocking on the memory wall
A cool heavy sadness 
Falling down above --
Woman’s lips used to
Spoke the wind!

With anxious I walk,
Along with myself 
In panic I felt --
I am no one!

I urge footsteps
While I am looking back,
Towards the river

Pondering not in the water
Not in me!
But, what the shadow thinks
While he is going
Where no one knows!

Inattentiveness

In A moment of Inattentiveness
Shifting, my eyes fell asleep.
Smiling you stepped in. 

Plunged all-star above my bed, 
The reflections of light on the walls
Aroused my bitter loneliness 

Then I woke up.

Premium MemberBeing God

Being God and raising children are very similar responsibilities.
Our mother is our God during our years of infancy
and we are all God's children according to Holy Scripture philosophy,
yet many devoted loving mothers lose their children fatally
during rare moments of inattentiveness unfortunately
as God too loses children occasionally
in catastrophes that God was too distracted to foresee most likely.
At the height of the most tragic of tragedies
the question begs, "How could God allow this to be?"
The answer in my opinion can be stated quite simply.
If God made us in God's image truly,
then God too is prone to our weaknesses and fallibilities.
In short, God gets careless occasionally,
and is it any wonder given all of God's many responsibilities?
