One Of Those Thinkin' Things
7-6-17


You said I have a good memory
and I retaliated with
"Remember when I could remember things?"
I swear you had to have
thought that before,
but I'm not sure.

There's nothin' more to see around here
says the guy who's seen it all
and you and I both know he's wrong
but who am I to ruin his fun
or our secret surprises?

You said I couldn't go on like this
so I went another way.
I know you're hiding something from me
but it isn't satisfaction.

The locals know all the routines,
both theirs and ours.
The least they could do for us
would be to say so quietly
but their thoughts are on their faces
and maybe it's time to move
or at least hide the kids.
I'm worried we might be one of them.
