must have been distracted

lost my train of thought

I know there had been something important there

I wondered if you might have remembered

because you might have been thinking what I was thinking

but I could see you were lost in thought yourself

I retraced what I could and returned to the crime scene

came up with a blank

was it something I'd read? eaten? discovered?

wracked scone but no avail

I think it was something sluggish in the weather

maybe something from the night before

and then I noticed where I was

though not quite sure

a certain trill of tune took me

rain on the roof was reminiscent

I thought of the day ahead

instructions I was bound to follow

how we got here

what's next to do

the topic list

the shopping

sex

where I'd left my resolutions

who I am

will be

then I lost that thread

I was talking to myself again

I don't suppose anyone would notice

but there was a thing I had to tell somebody still

skip that

something more important

corner of the eye you know

a fly stuck still on the glass

was it trying to understand

how it could perch on an ocean of air

and be flightless

you can see through the wings

but I don't suppose a fly can

was it stuck remembering too?

I think it was just a thought

it was never going to be a butterfly, was it?

it's a good thing I've written all of this down

now that we've gone to the one dream

which is nowhere to be at all
