ever wondered of a distant object

cogitate (think deeply about something)
gawk (stare openly and stupidly)
preen (look attractive and then 
admire one's appearance)
madly scribble visit done link

ever wondered of a distant object
to speculate on a speck nonchalantly 
standing alone and to cogitate a moment
on its origin notwithstanding the bother
but to gawk unwittingly blind to the moment

is there a desire for preening oneself
and to madly scribble a thought of selfish 
reasons in one's mind

it is good to cause a visit to one's 
thinking process lest one gets carried away

a good deed done sincerely 
needs no broadcasting
just link it perhaps to satisfying 
one's own craving of wanting recognition

it doesn't hurt anyone, period!

Note: Hank took the prompt's ending as a 
Wordle as it looks to be a good set of words
