boxed in thinking

sometimes one cannot think straight. it comes from having looked at a situation with the same eyes a thousand times. it becomes impossible to see the contours, the landscape with objectivity. the mind plays games. i call it being boxed in. here is what i do to solve the problem - take a deep breath and get up and go for a walk around the office block. read comics, mumbai mirror, anything else to help forget the problem. look at people, their faces, at couples making faces at each other, at strays sniffing at leaves, at centipedes trying to get under the grass or stones. It helps.

mindgames,
with myself,
forgetting,
a pawn i become,
as the game goes on!
