Forget About It



I find my mind is not quite right
For cutting my beard for fear I might
Do it wrong or else cut myself
So I leave the razor on the shelf
My mind not right though not quite wrong
To know to let it go and go write

I heard the voices in my head
Forget about it is what they said
Existentially sensibly
Reminding me of my family
Go and write a poem instead
Let go so I go to get along
With myself and we leave it there
Let it grow long and be like my hair
To write about it if I can

I find my mind not quite right enough
For less than existential stuff
Essentially this late in the span
Of an existential old man
Persisting despite the dark for light
Not right but not quite wrong tonight

Interesting what you said about your beer. And I don't think that you are "forgetting" about anything because a lot is weighing heavily on your head. Remembering?
