As present as I was yesterday – 
that’s how distracted 
I am
today – 
my mind flailing about
like that air-generated balloon
out in front of the used car dealership, 
with frantically waving arms
and 
squiggly hair.

I wonder if that disappoints You
or 
if the fact that I still try
even while flailing about 
may, in fact, please You? 

Either way, 
I’m guessing 
I’m fun to look at.
