This is Insane!

I remember

Thinking

I could be put in a hole

Yes

A hole

In the garden

Or a park

In the ground

With only my head

Peeping out

And I’d be O.K.

Happy even

As long as

I could carry on thinking

I used to think

I could think

My way

Through troubles

The answer was there

In a bubble

Grinning

Waiting to be caught

In a thought

And if I didn’t know

The answer yet

Then I had to think

Harder

Faster

Deeper

Quicker

Sharper

Cast out my net

Share more

Talk more

Ask more

I used to think

Until a foot landed on my head

And squashed every thought together

(Don’t worry, no pain

This is only a metaphor

And as they say

Anyway

No pain no gain)

The foot went quickly

On its carefree way

I scrambled out of the hole

Called a friend

And arranged to play tennis
