Recess

my thoughts
are playing
leapfrog
on the track
that is my mind
one over
the other
in rapid
succession
they run around in
circles screaming
tagyoureit
i'm dizzy with their
frolicking fervor
losing focus
on the hereandnow
faster and faster
their laughter spells
disaster
for any peace
i thought
could permeate
my person
while they're
at recess
i'm trying to
get bedrest
i need
a timeout
from all of this
madness
