Energizer Bunnies

For the past month or so I've had an incredibly short attention span. I never realised how precious an attention span longer than about 12 minutes was until mine disappeared. Attention spans let you read books, they let you get lost in plot. They let you sit at the beach and just watch the waves crash in. They let you remember that you are baking and remind you that you still have things in the oven. They let you zone out and lie in the sunshine drinking it in.

Without an attention span you feel like you have ADHD. All over the place all the time, always running, your mind jumping from topic to topic, your brain never switching off. You talk too fast. You can't rest. You just go go go, like the energizer bunny clanging his cymbals together and you know that your batteries will die eventually you'll stop clanging so much, your arms will grow weary and eventually stop. Stopping sounds like bliss, but my only question is, is the bunny still breathing?
