My goal here was not to over-edit, but free associate & publish BEFORE my monkey brain got the better of me… with a 10-minute time limit, here’s my response to today’s WordPress daily prompt word, static:
The day is gone
To-Do list completed, mostly
Wish list left behind;
Snagged on a branch during my morning walk
Abandoned in a cart in the Target parking lot
Slipped through my grasp
whilst absorbing Mom’s recitation of frenemies’ offenses
I vaguely recall its contents and
I try to piece it back together in my mind
As I’m lulled to sleep by that familiar, nagging cadence
That rhythmic static beat
Maintaining my life’s progress
at a steady, motionless pace.
