easy gone

you could fold me inside out,
partition all my fleeting blips of mental radar,
and tuck me carefully into your back pocket

take me with you,
or leave me lonely,
hiding on the mountain with the god who hides on the mountain,
contorted into solitude,
wading in the scenic overlook of a thousand people desperate to find something to cling on to

i fell into my foolishness and let my daydreams go running,
put all my carts ahead of my horses,
and laughed myself to sleep with a single chuckle of "oh what the hell",

so simplified
this life,
never so simple as you wish it to be
