Mind of a Man

I want to tell man

About bread crumbs on the sink

To tell of water stains on the toilet

To tell of soap scum in the well

Staring at your forehead

Stressing your veins

For Advil on the counter

Counting down goes the microwave clock

The answer machine timer

The tick tick on your CD player

The burn in your car engine

The butterflies across your window

The rise in your morning

I want to tell man

About fantasy, romance

And escape

Such novel concepts

To rape

And pillage within

To show signs of

Life sleeping under skin

With countless advice

And morels, conflict

And vice

To capture for one phrase

Read inside the mind

Of a man
