Too Many Distractions!

I was going to read my friend’s play

during eighth period

I read the character’s page

then I saw Mike walk in…

and I got distracted

I was trying to do my equine homework

but MSN was on

and Mike was IMing me

I typed that there was work to do…

and I got distracted

Sitting in the senior lounge

I smell the French Toast

that they sell on Wednesdays

I try to pay attention

to what my friends are saying

but the delicious sweetness

wafts through to my nose

and I get distracted

FaceBook is an addiction

“you are a FaceBook *****

that’s me

I was doing my homework

on the computer

but there were ponies on FaceBook

and I got distracted

I try not to let it happen

I try to do my work

but there’s always that little detail

that catches my eye

and I get distracted.

talking to my friends

trying to have a serious conversation

never works

because I tune it out

and I get distracted

I sat down to think about

and write this poem

but I got… wait… what?
