Head Hamster

the hamster in my head
is playing havoc with my thoughts
his wheel fell from its axle
so he’s free
to run around and gnaw
at all the cables for ideas
that light up my synapses
constantly

If my thought process survives
I may obtain a plastic ball
to let him get some
needed exercise
though I’ll never set him loose
into the outside world
as the chaos he creates
I find inspires.
