The sun hides behind the clouds
I have not seen a fog so thick in years
Though I can see clearly in front of me
I wonder if my brain still resides behind my ears
I yell to my family that dinner will be ready soon
Baked chicken and sautéed veggies covered in melted provolone
Just as I am ready to set the table
I realize that I never turned the oven on
Relaxing on my sofa, I see that nothing good is on the tube
Maybe now I can finish the novel that I started on last week
But as I make my way down the hall and open my bedroom door
I have absolutely no idea of what it was that I intended to seek
I know full well that my brain still exists
It still resides exactly where it was yesterday
Hopefully tomorrow will be somewhat clearer
As I walk through the fog that is changing my life’s way

Thanks for the pingback, and sorry it’s taken me so long to reply.
I really like this poem. It capture brain fog perfectly, and conveys the horrible feeling of not being able to find your own thoughts. Thank you for a very powerful and effective poem.
