The Day I Ran Out of My Own Head

We all question our sanity,

Or insanity, for that matter

Moments of blankness, staring into

Eternity and wondering "who am I",

Not "who have I become?"

 

After brief concentration our

Response rapidly

Evolves, and then some-

 

Thing clicks.

Heels on the floor

Enticing me to succumb.

 

Diverting my attention,

Effortlessly thwarting

Another perfectly good

Thought that was pre-

Heated, only partially done.

 

Out of the frying pan and into the

Fire tends to be a rule of thumb

 

Maybe this last time,

Eternity won.

The heels clicked on, and so did the clock. Counting down the staring match between Eternity and I.
