Thinking of not thinking is tiring,
it's so hard to clear the mind and
if you manage to do it you start
thinking of not thinking again.

If I ever manage to stop thinking,
I don't think that I'll know that I
stopped thinking.
or I'd be thinking that I stopped
thinking,
I think.

and that's not stopping at all.

I'm tired
there are too many clowns
under the big top
I wish they'd stop clowning
about,

the sign says,
This Way Out,
and I think that's an arrow
to show me the way.
