the mind...

your mind
my mind
The Mind
the most punishing blessing
ever bestowed upon man
woman
and child

the beloved whammy
the creative engine
the destructive force
the vast factory of possibilities
and the purgatory of existence

the bright blue sky
of the self
the cavern of despair
talking
walking
dreaming
screaming
one foot stepping in front of the other

your mind
my mind
The Mind
watching it all

be careful when you talk to yourself
you never know who will talk back
