St. Anthony
Can I ask you a favor?
Could you peer inside my head?
Will you find my brain and show me,
What has taken it's place instead?
Once more, I seem to have lost my mind.
Or was it an ear?
Or was it an eye?
It's funny, I don't recall again
Where it is I put my time.
I've gotten so good at this forgetful art
That I've begun to misplace my body parts.
Is there a miscalculation in my wit's design?
Is it my failure to keep my thoughts aligned?
Can I ask you a favor?
If you feel so inclined,
Will you compare my head to that of yours
And show me what's missing from mine?
