Proverbial Mud

*Best read sideways on mobile devices*

Sometimes I am lost in the thought of what if.
Stuck in a cyclical pattern
chasing the same thing over and over
until I drop from the dizzy dance.
Reality sways and wobbles,
my body bobbles to the ground.
The deafening thud
into the proverbial mud
drowns out all but the idea.
