okay-

my mind wanders off

because I let it

I wonder what will fill the lines

and my thoughts answer my questions

I seem to have forgotten something

(pause)

while I try to find it

what influences will inspire me

to etch this phrase?

With so much to do

and already knowing where to start

(having started there before)

how to go about the rest?

Sometimes the uncertainty

is not in the commencement of the matter

but in the fluid that makes up the core

what defines us is how we define our text

the body of our book of life

most people start out the same

but-

only we can write the story of our lives

what chapter was I on again?
