#3 «Train of thought»

The clarity of train of thought
unexpectedly overgrown

By a creeping sense of chaos
passing straight through this orderly mind

Her focal point, for once, has faded
crumbled and dissolved

The gloomy prospect of endless labour
driven to a frenzy;

Her greatest fear is spending decades
gathering the pieces
