Can'T Stop Thinking

My brain is on constant overdrive
 and it won't leave me alone.
Thinking, thinking, thinking 
   about random bull every second of the day.
Like whether I can weather the weather...
How exactly will I die?
  Don't get me started about late night,
  wide-eyed, crooked arm behind-the-head, ceiling-staring
  thinking myself in circles.
  Probably why my thoughts have little to no point;
 it's even worse when I'm stoned.
  Oil is produced from dinosaur bones
  and gelatin is made from animal bones.
 So can my niece power her school bus with her packed lunch?
I think about past mistakes,
  but what use is thinking about them if I can't change a thing?
Sleep overtakes me as I think about what thinking means...
