Sizzling

A mind too scattered
to stay connected
thoughts that vibrate
like hummingbird wings
creating a blur that
obscures all focus
attention divided between
two thousand threads
spreading thin spiderwebs
over my consciousness
catching dewdrops
that glisten and reflect
a mind full of mirrors
creating intricate illusions
impossible to untangle
and examine up close
awareness as a run-on sentence
pondering without punctuation
perpetual engine of possibilities
leaving my heart pounding
an old TV set with only two options
solid black screen or sizzling static
