hyperfocus

a stage

of intense focus

concentration

nothing else exists

hunger and thirst irrelevant

outside sounds on mute

in the flow and on a roll

hours pass by

in just a few moments

where did the time go?

an unbelievable surge of energy

ridiculous amounts of work accomplished

as though in a trance

yet no control

over when it happens

or when it leaves

someone calls my name

my heart jumps out of my chest

a shriek escapes from my lips

everything I was blocking out

comes flooding back in

the trance is over

who knows when it’ll return

but to distractibility, I guess
