Thoughts from a Distance

I’m thinking about you like Peanut Butter thinks about Jelly

I’m thinking about you like Squirrels think about Nuts

I’m thinking about like John Lennon Imagines

Like Utah thinks about rushing the field, again, and again, and again

Like Zorro thinks about Moustaches and Women

Like Trees think about Rain

I’m thinking about you like white thinks about black

Like Touchdown Tony thinks about the Gamecocks

Like life thinks about death, like vultures think about death, like death thinks about death

I’m thinking about you like cars think about gas and mowers think about grass

Like Stoplights and mothers would have you stop and stay for a while

Like mother thinks about child

Like child thinks about his mom waiting at home

Like child wishes his mother would be waiting at home

Like elevators think about being awkward

And I think about punching myself

I’m thinking about you even though I don’t want to

I’m thinking about you even though I HATE IT
