Beyond Terra - Lackadaisical'

"LACKADAISICAL"
slithering thoughts sloths
with the speed of extra thick molasses
flowing over a stack of cold waffles

forming a single solitary letter at a time
enervates thinking

so-much-so, sluggish ideas
slips-a-doodle into the inert minds’
idle murky overcrowded ground

times passes extensively by
delayed melodramatic actions
and reactions then suddenly
thought passively pivots
before halting to a stagnant stop _

gradually the mind grips a gander
of a group of quick beeps
and blurred blurbs to note tones,
rhythms and measured meters
of the common verbal sound

double pausing for assiduity
for the span of about an hour
before coming to the conclusion
that for the mind to gather strength
for this undertaking,

it will need a second
maybe another minute
or a measly moment
for a little while longer
before its too late

as the willpower to deliberate
begins to shrink and cower
