history of the mind

 

to pull a pick
to pick a pack
you don't want this
you just want that

a bathroom tore
a flood of time
a stick of wool
to prick a rhyme

a tinker ship
to troll the wool
a winding whip
to tame it full

to add a job
you don't ask why
you do not add
you nair apply

ice cream for plot
but don't know why
the dream's upset
the need not cry

the creature said
just go to bed
or fish instead
inside your head   

you wake before
the raven's crow
just say no more
defer to poe

you want some time
a little more
to eat a rhyme
you can't ignore         

i bid farewell
two lines are left
i know you won't
be much bereft
