untitled five
Would you kindly care
To dislodge yourself from my mind
After all, it has been a while since
You've left the store.
Thank you for your continued custom,
I guess.
There's really no need to check
My life upon departure-
It's pretty empty:
Memories have passed their
Used-by-dates.
I would like to purchase
A new set of feelings,
But mismatched memories are
An impulse buy.
Thus, I have overspent my
Ration of thoughts on you
For the day-
I always blow the budget.
I wonder what the going rate is
For a thought-free mind?
Thanks for your continued custom,
I guess.
