The more I think

I walk.

I walk in my head.

In my brain,

My thoughts,

My feelings.

I look over

At your hand.

Hmm.

The more I think about it,

The more tingly I get.

Tingly?

Fuzzy?

I don't know.

Something in my stomach

Something in my hand.

How easy it would be...

The more I think about it,

The more I feel completely outside myself.

Watching me

From an outsider's perspective.

This is how it always is.

And when I get outside of me enough

I do the thing.

So I did the thing

And I reached over

And once it's happened

I immediately relax.

I can be chill, see?

The fuzzies don't go away

But maybe they never will?

I fall into step

Into sync with you.

This.

This is what thinking less is.

  • Story Mountain

    I guess I've been thinking

    The story mountain we made

    And the characters didn't even get their lives told

    Because ours crashed and burned before we could handle it

  • I Won't

    Nope

    I'm not going back to school.

    I'm going to ignore the back-to-school ads

    And shopping trips

    The packing

    The new outfits

    The brand-new pencils

    I won't do it

  • Glimpses

    Noise

    Warming up

    Keys

    Fingerings

    Chatter

    Laughter

    The chorale

    Stopping

    Starting

    "Again"

    "I know you can do better than that"

    Serious but

    You also love it
