Setting down with paper and a pen,
Carefully unwinding my thoughts,
Faintly hearing myself think-I listen
And find the tape is somehow caught...
I press play, fast forward, rewind, eject,
Pause- elementary techniques
Attempted before tossing the subject,
Unraveling the mind's mystique...
Disappointed, I change the recording
To another I have memorized
Completely, effortlessly affording
Me a ballad by memory catalyzed...
