Whatcha Thinkin 'Bout

whatcha thinkin ’bout


nothing really.
it is true.
at an age when
the mind is on 
permanent vacation,
I float on a bed of soft 
feeling, selected memories.
occasionally a thought
creeps in disguised as a
smallish notion then bursts
into a real head-banger of
an idea stamped, to the one 
who used to live here.
Like throwing a bone 
to a toothless dog to be
slobbered over then
discarded for a nap in the sun.

I'm having a strong urge to print this and post it on a wall in my man-cave. Permission requested please. (Will share space with Kurt Vonnegut) Thanks for sharing your poetry. ~ john

Oh my of course! Kurt Vonnegut is estimable company. Then I could tell everyone that Kurt (first name bases already) and I hang out together.
