either / or

bubbling brain
skipping from web to email to programming
like a scratched record
needle bouncing all over the place
even these words
are just another bounce
a momentary distraction

is my mind’s natural state
one of focus
or
one of chaos?

I can sit,
nearly motionless
for hours

or

I can’t sit
for a minute
without being distracted
by the slightest thing

If I followed every thread
pursued every random idea

Would I be a wealth of
a fount of
creativity

or

would I find myself on the floor
surrounded by a pile
of half-completed projects?
