Jolt

There are these racing thoughts
That hop, skip, jump, jolt
Never still, never patient
Faster than light, lighter than air
They travel corners I have never seen
That don’t exist.

Stuck, sitting still
Unable to move, I try to keep up with them.
My own two feet, bound by physicality and anxiety
Tie in knots. 
Fingers in loops of each other.

I see. Through my mind.
Through my eyes.
And between these 2 states of existence,
Somehow, time passes at different times.

This is a part of a new writing challenge, where I write on prompts in alphabetical order. See you around for K!
