the idea
couldn’t flow
it was entangled
in a web of axons

brilliant
but
it was stuck
the synapses
refused to
communicate

frustration
led to
mental malaise

it is there
it is there
on the tip
of my tongue
but
i can’t spit it out

it is there
it is there
stuck in my head
give me a moment
i’m in a brain freeze

it is there
it is there
i promise
to dazzle you
when i work
out of this entanglement

i appear
to be absent of mind
i am not

i’m engrossed
lost in thought
immersed in cerebral pondering
quietly waiting
for the entanglement
to end
