The mind is a terrible thing

To waste.

I had a preconceived notion

Then I gave birth

To the notion that most of my notions

Are ill conceived or, at least,

Conceived from ill.

There is really only one deepest pain

For me.

-All the rest are more like PR pain-

That’s the pain when I recognize

That I took a young boy’s gesture

For granted.

Now that I have it

I don’t ever want to forget.
