when the house is all quiet that's when I find
my mind's secret door
the one that opens up brave, new and exciting regions
to map and explore
I've followed this path so often that I almost know
the journey by heart
in this room of unlevel reasoning
the end tends to precede its start
around and around in chaotic circles such fugitives
dance and dart
some believe my ability to tap into these games
is what makes me seem so sly and smart
but in their careless pensive play I take little or
no active part
if life had a mapped out plan I would try to memorize
such a chart
this is not me but a higher form of me
one that with its own brilliance
with itself it love to argue and disagree
causing so much trouble deep down inside
some would label me a prisoner of my own
self destructive mind..............
