Miriam Webster’s
Thesaurus Dictionary
I am discretionary
Quite contrary

My thought process
Works in circles
Often called out
for non sequitur

How do I stay
In the moment
a brief component

While many people
Are lineal thinkers
Relying only on the fact
My train is on a different track

I take the long way back
The scenic route
Often talking in circles
yet always having a point in mind
Even when it’s not easily understood
My response valid value still good


An example
that pertains to the subject at hand
Even if the example isn't grand
Off topic may not be the best plan
But it proves my point
Yet picky people
Nose out
of joint


Tongue tied
Wrong words tried
Brain fried

Flowery word mountains, I climb
my lexicon expanding in time
Segue without interruption
Empirical, thinking corruption

Using the first word
I can find
A thoughtless word
section grind
Sounded fine in my mind

What was the subject again ?


Have you ever
While speaking
lost your train of thought
mid sentence?

Have you ever
had something on the
tip of your tongue then
a moment later it’s gone.?

Have you ever
sang every word to a song
And forget the Artist and Title?

Have you ever
walked into a room and
not remember why you’re there?

Have you ever
spoke for an hour to a friend
And not remember their name?

My perfect example of non sequitur
There was a point I promise 🤔🤫
