Sorry My Mind Was Miles Away Slam
Sorry my mind was miles away
You've caught me in my
rocking chair
Steadily rocking back and forth
Quietly contemplating which way
is backward or true north
Expression blanker than my mind
or winter botox pale ashen faced
Here in body yet trapped inside
my thought forgot
Unable to face reality searching
solace , sanctuary
A billion miles and galaxies from
whence i thought i wished to be
Floating above a sea of purest
dead black salt
A relic of evolution
A social dinosaur
Passing time until extinction
comes a calling
Blowing me out the water
For a future generation of
archeologists to discover
Everything about me from my
diet to the grooming of my hair
But all my thoughts and my
desires and what made me tick
Those are mine for eternity
and evermore
No one can take them away from me
They are me
They are i
As in life
And so to death
1 life
