I’ve been trying to keep tabs on my mind
To see where it comes and goes
Funny thing, when it catches me watching,
It stops in its tracks
Like a toddler in trouble
Silence pervades its roils and folds
Does it stare back?
Does it just shut down,
Like a beaten housewife?
There is joy in its silence, I find.
It fills me from head to crown
And again to the ground
Alas, I notice and pull my focus away
Away
And away my mind flows
All quips and backhanded blows
Tearing away at me
Just for trying to know me
