Focu---My Train of Thought Derailed

My mind doesn't like to stay put.

In fact it would much rather spring from idea to idea, 

leaving a string of half formed sentences in its wake.

This is not ideal when I'm actually trying to get work done. 

And lately it seems I can't focus on anything. 

Like my mind is racing all over,

and i am running as fast as I can to catch it.

But everytime I get close it wizzes off again.

Occasionally I will have the luck to pounce on it,

and engage it in a wrestling match. 

Until it eventually escapes and tears off once more.

I feel as though every trap I set for it is anticipated

and I have no hope of tricking it into submission.

My train of thought rides on the tracks

for almost no time at all before it becomes derailed. 

But it will go chugging along on some unforged path.

My only hope is that it will eventually find it's way back to the station.

Until then, I surrender to the sporatic activity within my mind.
