Divagation

Mind wanders, no compass, I’m a stray map Thoughts scatter like dice on a crapslap In my head, it’s a pinball arcade trap Bells ring, lights flash, can’t escape that Lost in the labyrinth, Minotaur’s grin Every turn’s a dead end, can't begin Brain’s a vinyl scratch, looped in the spin Ink spills on the page, but it won’t sink in Divagation, the art of my hesitation Stray notes compose this strange narration Scattered thoughts, like pigeons in the square Chasing crumbs of wisdom, but none there Mind flips scripts, rewinds to despair Searching for meaning in thin air Synapses fire, sparks in the void Words collide, syllables destroyed Out the chaos, order gets deployed Alchemy of rap, where the lost get employed Divagation, the art of my hesitation Stray notes compose this strange narration Truth in fragments, a broken translation Lost in the beat, I’m a wild creation
