hello Raj

my thoughts don't walk a straight line
[shortest distance between two points] --- I think the definition is not necessary

a tinge of salt, a bit of sugar, ---- sugar is a bad electrolyte, salt is sufficient
make a good electrolyte ----- electrolyte is a beautiful word, but it can't modulate distance,
modulating the distance
in a zigzag line ------ if you say zigzag alone is sufficient

Maybe something like that?

My thoughts don't walk straight line.
Tears, a bit of salt and sugar,
make good electrolytes,
destruct the perfect calm
and force me into
turmoils of asymmetrical zigzags.
