Ideas are not cheap
They take time to fester
open their tentacles
wrap around your brain
obsessive ideas circulate in your veins
repeating themselves over and over
you may not control them
for they are just thoughts
weighing approximately nothing
and yet seem solid and unreasoning
they spin around and bite
when you thought it was safe to settle down
with a good book they leak out onto the pages
Ideas are a danger
That man digging a hole
can not maintain a single direction
but meanders across the field
running on distraction
abbreviating sentences
eradicating meaning
Ok, you say. Ok.
Enough of that.
