Maybe We Should Think Again

Perhaps we think

When thought is thunk

That’s all there is…

Wink-blink-ker-plunk

But even thoughtless thought

Has a way

Of becoming the thing

We do

Or say

So lest we think

When thought is thunk

That’s all there is

Wink-blink-ker-plunk

Gone,

Like milkweed silk

Or rain

…maybe we should 

Think again
