I wake up.
… thoughts of yesterday…
“what do I cook today?”
“did I say it right?”
this one and that one
and the other one
all intrude… in my mind of course.

 

I sit down.
Ideas, thoughts, words
all flow…
and I write, I write, and I write
faster, faster and I fly.
this one and that one
and the other one
all intrude… in my mind of course.

I brush.
I bathe.
Imagined victories
in arguments
this one and that one
and the other one
all intrude… in my mind of course.

My army,
my rain shower.
My onlookers,
a soap,
bubbles in awe,
shampoo bottle that bows.
They admire.
… and the other one
all intrude… in my mind of course.

Alarms.
Clocks.
Time tables.
Books, pencils, plates, food,
paper, meetings,
needs, wants, tears,
screams, food, water,
this one and that one
and the other one

all intrude… in my mind of course.

“kunuuuuuuu” – garbage truck!

“I’m hungry”
“what do I eat it with?”
“It’s ok… I’ll manage”.
this one and that one
and the other one
all intrude… in my mind of course.

Blades flashing
waves rolling
pirates save the world!
Glorious, glorious celluloid…
….
….
….
Shhhhh!
…. listen again….
None intrude…. in my mind of course.

Deadlines.
this one judges.
Unfinished work, one more, once more.
that one never lets me forget.
Dinner? Tomorrow?
and the other one…
smug, all knowing…
this one and that one
and the other one
all intrude… in my mind of course.

Cozy thoughts,
my eyes cuddle up,
this one and that one
and the other one
all intrude… in my mind of course.

Another day
“Bring them on!”
…will take them on…
this one and that one
and the other one
all intrude… in my mind of course.
