Your Consciousness, Sir

Your consciousness, sir! When exhaustion takes you by the collar Like a kitten And gently snuggles you down As it smooths your frown From your melting face And then it smuggles your consciousness Through dark alleys and memories Out to the safety of a green landscape Where eternal sun is shining And strange is the norm And no-one seems upset When people suddenly take flight Or a moose Or baboon Attempts to steal the moon Or a horse runs a course On philosophy And as you slowly dissolve into the pillows And sorrow and worries are taken from you Like a coat left at the coat-check To be returned to you tomorrow Sadly, if you choose Bot better to lose Them or forget them In a fresh new morning Of a fresh new day
