The Fishes In My Head
We humans seem concerned that we must die
Yet complain we cannot sleep with shuttered eyes
Stay awake and let the mind roam free
Invent new recipes, enjoy some tea
Feel the peace of darkness and the bed
Tell off fishes swimming in your head
Get up and clean the kitchen of its grease
Check your records if you have a lease
Knit a mohair hat for winter time
Wash a scarf and hang it on the line
Change the printer ink before it dries
Volunteer to work for M I 5
Unwillingly admit we can’t control
The night and day, the journey and its goal
