Timing The Mind Poem by Chris Leermakers

I Can’t Imagine The Time It Takes
To Amuse You
And I Won’t Waste My Time
To Just Confuse You
I Can Only Tell You The Time
That I Will Confess
You Don’t Seem To Look
Don’t Seem To Listen
You Just Seem Distressed
Do You Consent?

Brick Walls Don’t Bother Me
Or Neither Should They You
However Your Head Space
Doesn’t Make Any Sense

How Can I See
How Can I Find The Person
You Really Are
When You Just Pretend You
Are A Walking Charade?
Are You A Walking Clique?

I Can Try
But, It’s Going To Be
Very Far Away
If You’re Not Free - Now
From All Your Hating
Thoughts?
Can I Trust You With Those Talons?

Remember A Dragon
Can Turn – Turn At Will, Even
Into A Butterfly Which
Also Bite Back Sometimes
Sometimes Kill

How Do I Know
That You Will Not Try To Bite?
How Do I Know? – I Never Forget
How Do I Know?
You Will Leave Me Alone?
Well I Haven’t Even Sung
That Song Yet

Just Look After Your Own
Life And Ego
I’ll Happily Get On With Mine
I’ll Be Just Fine – In Time
Yeah Fine In Time
Just Not Standing
On Your Crooked Line

Got The Butterfly’s
In Your Stomach?
Found The Cockroaches
In Your Mind?
Just Watch Out For Your Delusions And Self-Denial
They Really Won’t
Kill Any Of Your Time

Is It Time For You To Have
A Break To?
Cause I Aint The Fool
I Aint The Joker
I’m Just In Full View
– Just A Helping Hand
Got The Time On My Side
Think I’ve Got The Right Time Too
The Right Time Beside
The Right Time
Behind My Mind.
