My mind is spinning
on the drive home
grasping for threads
an idea here or there
that can be woven
into a poem.

My mind is spinning
on the drive home
thinking about the people
I need to respond to
and the lack of time
to do it.

My mind is spinning
on the drive home.
Can I combine parts
of this and that
ideas, messages,
and anything else
into a poem,
even if it isn’t great,
or would it be better
to just go to sleep.
