Mind scattered
ideas, plans, options
splattered
like throwing poo on a wall

seeing what shticks

hours in a chair
opening windows windows windows
multitasking, planning
destinations, schools, living arrangements,

jobs... too far in the future
just yet

a ppause
a break to flirt
with cyber profiles
making friends in foreign lands
a far off place

something else to look forward to...

train fares, air fares
one way, round trip
circle straight
adventures, explorations
before during after

back in place
what to do with this space
move out, break lease

suddenly suddenly
feeling rushed to get out
momentary feelings of solitude, sadness
feelings of being exiled

all my exes live in Texas
no time to look back
look forward
counter attack

find a new home
sure about chosen school?
contemplate
this one, that one

counting hours
days
waiting for acceptance

and then...
LAUNCH
count down continues

mounting tasks
moving storage movers
vacate

a working vacation
no time to be excited
waiting waiting
for acceptance

settled
inquired
waiting to see
what shticks...

You are developing an interesting style as you play with words.  This reminded me of fast frenzy.  So much - so fast and I just moved with the words.
