On Losing Minds
On Losing Minds

I lost her mind,
She gave it to me
For safekeeping

And I lost it.

I sit retracing
Patterns footsteps
On the concrete streets.

Where was I when I saw it last?

Boy, is she gonna be mad
When she finds out.

Or will she even notice?
She might just sit there
In a coma, comma, space, pause
Till I find it.

I stop the world moving
People stop mid-step,
Traffic pauses. Rewind.

There I was with it in my pocket,
There is falls out.

Was it blue or green
Two minds rest together on the pavement.
At least I�m not the only one
To loose a mind.
Must have been the blue one,
She was sad today.

I brush it off carefully,
And inspect it for scratches
Hope that wasn�t an important area.

I put it back in my pocket
Shove it deeper than it was before
And rest my hand on it
All the way home.

I don�t think I�ll tell her.
