DIS traction

My mind is skipping beats
Continuously pulling threads
But never able to hold on long enough
To focus
To finish

Ideas settle briefly on the surface
And are soon replaced by the next and the next
Continuously arriving at places I never intended to be
Unable to retrace my steps

Mix-ups used to be just that
Small and incidental
But now, for a few seconds, I can confuse the fundamental
And then - "oh yes, of course, How could I have thought..."

Will this mind fog clear?
Can I will it to clear?
When will it become clear to others?
