Minding my own business one day <br />Love accosted me in the shopping center parking lot <br />Invaded my world <br />Infringed on my thoughts ‘till I couldn’t think anymore <br /> <br />Like a drunkard reeling <br />I was intoxicated by your wit and words <br />I lost my sense of sleep and felt my stomach <br />going up and down like an elevator <br /> <br />I went around grinning like a Cheshire Cat <br />But being too overjoyed to explain why <br />everyone thought <br />I had lost my mind <br /> <br />“Temporary insanity, ” they muttered among themselves <br />If this is temporary insanity, <br />I thought <br />I hope it lasts forever <br /> <br />Strange things that sometimes happen <br />When you are minding your own business <br /> <br />Lorraine Licona ©<br /><br />Lorraine Licona<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/minding-my-own-business/
