Mind, Oh Mind
Mind, Oh Mind
Always troubling, always bothering
Sometimes clear, sometimes smothering
Can’t you keep quiet?
Sometimes closed like a closet
Sometimes open like a faucet
Sometimes racing like a shooting star
Sometimes acting like a stalled car
Have you lost your mind?
Sometimes flowing like a fountain
Sometimes steadfast like a mountain
Goddamn it, can’t you make up your mind?
Tricking me to say things I don’t mean
Duping me to do things that I am not keen
Why don’t you mind your own business
Shut up, if you don’t mind! Quiet I said
I want pin drop silence
I want complete stillness of the mind
And don’t you dare change your mind!
