I love it when my mind is vacant. <br />A feeling of no need to please, <br />Immediately surrounds me... <br />With an ease I can deal with. <br /> <br />There are no imposed ideals to impress. <br />And I feel free to care even less. <br /> <br />I love it when my mind is vacant. <br />No pressure at all I carry, <br />To deliver intelligent thoughts I might think. <br />And no one there to ask for mink! <br /> <br />~I just thought I'd throw that in, <br />To see if you were paying any attention... <br />To this love affair I have with self.~ <br /> <br />Seriously... <br />Don't you feel good, <br />When you mysteriously catch people... <br />Minding their own business? <br />And you know 'something' is special about this. <br />So you do the best you can, <br />To introduce your mind to more rest. <br /> <br />I love it when my mind is vacant. <br />No pressure at all I carry, <br />To deliver intelligent thoughts I might think. <br />And no one there to ask for mink! <br />And I am left not to enforce those delusions on myself! <br /> <br />Why is my telephone ringing at this hour of the day? <br /> <br />'Mister Pertillar, I know you're there. <br />This is Robert Clarke from Clarke Collections. <br />We need to talk about your 'commitment to pay'. <br />Mister Pertillar? Mister Pertillar? I suggest you receive my call! <br />Mister Pertillar? This is going to have an adverse reflection, <br />On your credit standing! <br />You are going to ruin your future capabilities to get a loan.' <br /> <br />Shucks! <br />I made a commtment to stay married too. <br />But that didn't work out either! <br />Well, <br />Like I was saying... <br /> <br />I love it when my mind is vacant. <br />A feeling of no need to please, <br />Immediately surrounds me... <br />With an ease I can deal with. <br /> <br />There are no imposed ideals to impress. <br />And I feel free to care even less.<br /><br />Lawrence S. Pertillar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-my-mind-is-vacant/
