Down A Rabbit Hole

When I was a kid on the farm,
and out doing my chores at night,
my dad would come out to the barn
to make sure I was doing things right.

He’d get sidetracked with a project
that he’d left sometime before
run back to the house for a tool
or drive into town to the hardware store.

Thing is, he never did come back to the barn
to complete his goal
just work on piecemeal projects,
never to finish, and wind up
down a rabbit hole.

Now I’m following in my father’s footsteps;
I’ve taken note to where he’s been
in hopes of learning from his mistakes
and not go down that road again.

But with so many other commitments,
limited time; albeit good or bad
I’m stuck with some of the same options
and parameters my father had.

That brings me back to understanding
why it is that I have little control
to stop from getting lost in thought,
and drifting from one thing to another
down a rabbit hole.

Doesn’t matter how many times I been down that road before,
when I’m taken away with the sounds of a distant drum;
leading me astray, chasing a butterfly and nothing more
till I end up back to where I started from.

Cruising the information highway
as I’m asked to stay in place
killing time, educating myself
surfing the web’s database,

but hyperlinks lead me away;
each one opening another door
till I’m lightyears from where I was
and I forget what I was looking for.

and maybe like you, I end up in the whirlpool,
circling the bowl
slowly moving round in a clockwise direction
down a rabbit hole.
