Thank you for your kind thoughts I'm glad you enjoyed this enough to comment. This poem really did just sort of fall out of my head while I was working on another poem. I wrote it pretty much as you see it about as fast as I could type it (which is slow). I too noticed with some amusement that some rhymes happened. They were not intentional but once I saw them I thought maybe they would add to the schizophrenic nature of the piece. I guess not. As for the whole "ideas flown away" thing I often experience my ideas taking flight like a flock of birds never to be seen again. I actually make a noise, with my lips, like flapping wings when this happens. Brains are funny things, at least mine is. The only real change I made was the last line. After I posted it I went back in for an edit, having to admit, dammit, that I am the one making the list. I'd like to burn it but I'm afraid it would be a 4 alarm fire!
