Freelance Retort-Distraction Action

I’ve been a little distracted lately.

There’s been a lot going on. 

I mean…not me…I don’t have anything going on…as usual…but there seems to be a lot going on all around me.

And that’s distracting.

At least for me.

Because, actually, it doesn’t take much to distract me.

Like the second hand on a clock…that distracts me.

And that weird hum the refrigerate makes…that distracts me.

You know…because of the distractions.

I was out talking to my neighbor and I couldn’t follow a word he was saying, because his nose was distracting me.

Not that there was anything odd about it.

It was just a regular nose, like any other nose…it just seemed out of place.

And then I realized it wasn’t the nose at all that was out of place.

It was the neighbor…I was talking to the wrong neighbor.

His nose was fine.

It was the rest of him that was off.

But I guess that kind of stuff happens to everyone…right?

Right…?

And I’m sure everyone has gone to the grocery store and been so distracted by everything going on inside that BIG super store that you….
