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
