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
