INKtober 2019: mindless

First I wrote the acrostic, then I tried to illustrate each line. The first line equates Mindlessness with mob reflex. The second line equates Mindlessness with Single-Mindedness–Ahab on the good ship Pequod. The third line is the action of a protective nictitating eyelid, which I suspect requires no conscious thought at all. The last line pins Mindlessness on random incarceration.

mindless

make a Fist & say All Hail
in a ship that seeks a whale
nictitating eyelid shuts
dogs are caged by mangy mutts
