Metaphor
"Every time I tried to concentrate, my mind glided off, like a skater, into a large empty space, and piroutted there, absently."
Metaphor in Context
Sitting in the front seat, between Dodo and my mother, I felt dumb and subdued. Every time I tried to concentrate, my mind glided off, like a skater, into a large empty space, and piroutted there, absently.
