Narrow and shallow shining laser focus
     into chasm while teetering on brink
akin to scurrying thru microcosmic burrow
     of microscopic Manhattan skyscrapers
     wink'n nod and blink,

this ace of spades heart (diamond
     in the rough) poet digs club billy shallow
     sometimes forced to spelunk
     thru crawl space *****
    
hunting down gamesome dodging
     catlike whim elusively outpaced,
yet webbed, whorled wide net
     nonetheless doth cap cha alive
     agile adept idealized rat fink,

which unseen quite quiet mouse notion
     gives hardy fellow run for his money,
     within scrunched brow mental chase
possibly connected to a preceding pondering
or appearing randomly
     viz, non-sequitur conscious kink

     said quarry i.e. whimsical thoughts  
frequently vanish without a trace
     quick as mental cogs and wheels
     generate snapchatting, riveting, twittering link

process allowing, enabling, and providing
     albeit easily distracting ability
     to grasp awesome zinging, lightening,
     fleeting brainstorm within windswept
     mind space **** sapiens to think
    
shimmering insight cognizant ability
     likening ode on Grecian urn vase
frieze depicting elusive capture
     thought process lifespan shorter than a wink

via third eye blind of
     comfortably numb beatle browed face
to locate source giving rise
    king inducing minor frustration at inability
     to nab (albeit painlessly) shimmering zinc

like inception, deception, taking wing
within fifty plus shades swing
and conception of consciousness stir ring
nanobyte size quisling

gray matter housing chromosomal ping
pong pin balling genes summons King
kong of Leon intrigue, jing
gull ling, where disparate

     ideas linkedin fling
pollinated neurological network ebbing
and flowing, sans during
writerly blitzkrieg thread ding
provocative point of pinterest bing

proclimation emancipation pensive predilection
to contrive a means and ways
to corral mischievous mental minions
who seem to vanish without a trace  

holographic after effect or image evoked
from virtual reality, the latest modality
to pair dime a dozen stray cats re:
untamed cerebral creatures tempting
contemplation to occupy hours.
