Distractions

SEE

Through the slits of my eyes

I see diffraction

fringes of light and dark

flood in as distraction

 

TOUCH

Muscles in my body

thicken into contraction

when you touch my skin

immediate distraction

 

HEAR

Trying to concentrate

my ears pick up a fraction

of conversations around

a welcome distraction

 

TASTE

Someone is talking to me

I'm in a state of inaction

chocolate in my mouth

melts into distraction

 

SMELL

Thinking of tomorrow

something triggers reaction

the smell of cut grass

grows into distraction
