Monkey Mind

Monkey Mind sneaks up behind,
And nabs you unaware.
Monkey Mind, wasting time
An inch beneath your hair.
You shake, it clings,
You chase, it swings on
Familiar voices
Whispering choices,
To do lists, wasted hours
Return a call. Water flowers.
STOP. BREATHE IN…
Exhale, breathe in,
But it’s rarely quite so easy.
Monkey finds a backdoor in,
All casual. So sleazy.
Monkey Mind,
So damn unkind,
My alter ego creep,
Monkey Mind, have a care
Just
Let me go to sleep.
