The Commonplace - Magritte

mark reality by a notch in a tree
    honest recognition of the not dissimilar 

  I wish I wouldn't notice so much -
        try to make it out

          I should dress smart, stare blankly 
   be cut in half whenever required -
        but how could I find myself then?

            add up the sum of the parts
       everything is whole, then stop

     or risk being outside looking on
          losing bits of self 
     as they travel to unseen edges 

     nothing is out of place
  unless you overlook
       or maybe a double negative of the reverse

                   a fraction of mind working overtime
under utilising the power of caring less
