not every silent thought runs deep
sometimes they get caught in the air
on trivial matters
or stuck in a mindless loop.
sometimes they are drawn out
one long stretch of consciousness
over a period too long to count.
they can also be the opposite of themselves
bombard the mind with rapid fire processes
jumping over each other competing against fire.
thoughts are smart dumb people
elusive and deceptive
at any given point
they can captivate all
hold us hostage to their insight
or leave us wondering
what was being smoked
and where can i get some.
