Close all tabs ….by Radhika
The spotlight focuses on
an ensemble of ideas, incomplete tasks and memories,
that take center stage without an invite,
blaring their discordant voices.
With a conscious effort, I scat them away one by one,
much to my dismay, a multitude of others pop up.
The plethora of thoughts vying for attention
reverberates to a cacophonic din, unsettling my sanity.
I wish I had a CLOSE ALL tab in my brain
to shut down and restart it again!
Note to self ….by VJ Knutson
Checking symptoms for possible diagnosis: tab 1
Searching for gluten free recipes for leftover turkey: tab 2
Black Friday specials on tab 3
Writing a blog post on tab 4
Email on tab 5
Too many tabs open to concentrate
and Christmas is looming
and the fridge needs cleaning
and I got the groceries
but forgot the milk
and potatoes
and guests are coming
and laundry is piling up
and,
and,
and…
Somewhere at the bottom of the pile
is a note to self:
compassion.

E.M s Brain Tabs …by E.M.Kingston
From the moment my eyes open, the tabs begin to form
What will I write today?
What will my health be like today?
Don’t forget to medicate!
(Coffee, please!)
Make the coffee…play some games on my phone…
(Thank you very much!)
Okay…let’s go outside!
(I don’t function until three cigarettes are done and a cuppa is drunk.)
Don’t bother me yet.
Routine time!
How many challenges will I achieve today?
Look at all these tabs!
What’s for breakfast?
What will I snack on at lunchtime, if I eat at all?
Dinner will be ready at such and such time today.
Let’s write more on the book!
Should I share this piece of the book or nah?
Oh! That will be a good word to put in the story.
Dogs have to go pee.
I have to go pee.
Baby time!
I’m tired, but I will write a little bit longer.

Tab, tab, clear …..by Diana Coombes
Too many tabs.
Reboot! Reboot!
Too many tabs,
I don’t compute.
Just want to stop for a while
Find another way of life;
Colouring, painting, writing until
all the tabs close and
all is still.
Tabs of the Mind …. by Jasmine Bhatia
My brain has too many tabs open,
Each tab has a story to convey,
Not all the tabs however clicked,
Displays the content in it
Some are hidden, Some are Open,
Some are a feeling of a painful wound,
Some are the joyous precious moments,
Some are sorted and some are tangled and complex,
When many tabs open together,
The system of the brain crashes too
And it alarms to restart or shut off the tabs of overthinking,
Which results in no plans and no solutions.
Once it calms and cools off,
By a simple walk, a loved music or a poised meditation,
It has the power to relax, rejoice and chase any dreams or any challenging time.
Now when this is known to me,
My brain has installed an anti virus in it
To flush away all the unwanted tabs and
Only keep the tabs that are constructive,
And…

The sight is scary - bodies found floating in holy rivers. Scarier are the human vultures mud larking on the shore, on a spree to find jewels on dead bodies. They don’t realise the families of the unfortunate dead were too scared of infected bodies, and too poor to afford a proper cremation. (52 words) … Continue reading Unfortunate
Not enough tabs….by Michael
My brain has too manytabs open.
I like this topic for no other reason than what if the opposite applied, in that, I didn’t have enough tabs open?
I don’t think I have overload, more so it’s underload for me.
I think it’s always been that way for me, look for the easiest way to solve a problem rather than spend hours trying to nut it out.
Somehow or other I have managed to get myself through life, fumbling my way along, more often than not conning people into believing I know what I am doing.
Right from the word go I recall my teachers telling me I was lazy. That I had to make a bigger effort, apply myself to the tasks given but what they didn’t know was that for the most part, I was working to my capacity, as inquisitive as I was, there were…

Overcrowding ….by Sadje
There are times
When my mind is in idle mode
Thoughts are floating peacefully
Ideas hibernating, in a hazy atmosphere
Then there are other instances
When a frenzy of activity occurs
Too many ideas are simultaneously generated
Thinking power divided between each
Like a computer overloaded
Too many tabs opened, the annoying delays
The throbber*, indicating waiting for response
Perhaps it needs to unplug and go to sleep mode!
(* Throbber is the icon we see when an app of program is being loaded!)
