I Enjoy Thinking Time

Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted. John Lennon

My cerebral balance 
craves 
long stretches 
of time 
where it seems
nothing is happening,
not at all unlike 
doing 
nothing.

Sitting
still
completely, 
horizontally meditating 
eyes 
closed, 
standing in line,
icy blue, 
almost glazed over, 
faraway look.


Though I am 
fully engaged 
in my mind,
maybe.
Believe 
if you want;
I care not.

Conceivably,
I am even thinking of you.

  2. I like how the structure mimics the stretched out nature of unoccupied time. :)

  3. I love this! To write an entire piece of verse on the art of doing nothing. How completely liberating!

    Any time someone says that to me I say it is inconceivable they wouldn't be. Thank you Princess Bride for making me find ways to integrate that word into my daily speech.
