Thoughts Sometimes

 

Thoughts sometimes

Take you places

Where the spaces are

Too tight or so damn large

That you get lost

In craziness,

Reminding me of

The old arthritic bass

Player who uses his

Tongue to strum against

His dentures the

Notes he used to play,

Inadvertently flicking

His teeth onto the table,

Sometimes into his coffee,

The old ladies holding

Conversations over lipstick

Smeared mugs and chemical

Sweetener wrappers,

Pure chaos as each

Chatter on about different

Subjects and things,

Words bouncing about

Like popping popcorn,

Yes thoughts sometimes

Take you places that

Aren’t spaces at all,

The mystery of Meeleirrek,

Why, how do Joel and Oscar

Stroll in on the same

Thought path that I

Happen to be exploring,

Writing about.
