A few minutes into my morning commute
|
||
I had forgotten we can all read minds.
|
||
So my thought faucet ran up my brain bill
|
||
Spewing a membraneous mess inside.
|
||
|
||
I didn’t notice ‘til I parked the car
|
||
And smelled the fumes from under the hood.
|
||
I frantically thought of cats and cookies
|
||
To clean up the mess, but it did no good.
|
||
|
||
So I ditched the car and snuck into work,
|
||
Though I knew my hopes and dreams would be seen
|
||
Swirled amidst my self-doubt and worries
|
||
Like creamer mixed in bitter cups of caffeine.
