Thought Analysis
How does thought somehow analyze;
exhibit its ability to understand;
listen to comments, and make replies;
and contemplate what to command?
How can it make such instant decisions;
while simply walking down the street;
switch and change a mind to revisions;
car and pedestrian destined to meet?
Then speaking to an absolute stranger;
cataloging a new name to store;
aware of surroundings; avoiding danger;
and gallantly holding a lady’s door.
All of this, while memorizing a speech;
still walking down a busy street;
mentally preparing a lesson to teach;
thinking of saving someone a seat.
Knowing my car needs an oil change;
with its mileage, it must be today;
to fit it into my schedule I must rearrange;
I need to just make it another day.
I’m making plans for a upcoming holiday;
birthday plans for a brother, next week;
I bought him a briefcase, he’ll use every day;
it’s hidden in a closet; I hope he doesn’t peek.
All of these thoughts, from a walk downtown;
complexities of thought are more than odd;
my consciousness swims; ready to drown;
only a fool believes there’s no God.
