PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’m trying to read Ginsberg’s Mind Breaths in 30^th Street Station but my eyes become enraptured by the loveliness of an Amtrak passenger in queue for the D.C. train.  I can not focus on the poetry on the page.  I keep looking up at her.  She is soon to hop on a train to Washington D.C. or some point in between.  I am waiting for a local train back to the Suburbs.

killing time with a good book

eyes get distracted

There is no good justification for the diversion.  She is lovely but I strong be strong and resolute.  I am not.  I will not regain my focus on the poetry until she is gone from view.  Then I shall mourn the loss for a moment and move on.  These little distractions in life do occur.  We just have to resolve to finally overcome.
