Wild Mind

Everything moves in ways we never know.
People move past red telephone boxes
then vanish before the money runs out.
The line keeps moving through generations
and even your very worst work hides a seed within the eyes that reflects will on something.

Sun goes down like thunder crashing
to a floor of dreams
shattering in spools of crystal cotton
collapsing in kaleidoscopes of doubt.

Flowers only move in winds that wind
in measurements of memories.
How will we redeem ourselves?

The hive that swings outside the barn
is full of love for you.
We stake our claim and measure our worth in harmonies on the road to our hearts
made of melting clocks -
but not on your watch.

I wish you'd take time to reframe
the images in your mirror
and transport them to the carrier of your planet made of worlds.

What did this world do
but spin on and on
like sugar moving on a spinner made of
fault lines trapped in the blitz
of snow falling like umbrellas from city strays?

You're a planet made of worlds
in a solid mind of this and that.

Zombies come from walls made of
lakes you keep your imaginary boat in.
It's the place you go to bob on the night
and unload your wild mind, wild mind.

It's the place you go
To become untwined.
The place you go
to unload your newest find.
That place you go
To read the blind.
The place you go
To crush the grind.
The place you go
To unwind your wind.
The place you go
To dine the wined.
The place you go
To fall behind.
The place you go
To feel outlined.
The place you go
To help the sidelined.
The place you go
To feel refined.
The place you go
To be many mankind.
The place you go
To be womankind.
The place you go
To be aligned.
The place you go
To be kind.
The place you go
To be headlined.
The place you go
To live unmined.
The place you go
To be divined.
The place you go
To leave behind.
The place you go
To be undefined.
The place you go
To feel realigned.
The place you go
To be unassigned.
The place you go
To be never mined.

It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.
It's the place you go.

with your wild mind.
