Open Mic- I'm Thinking About You

I'm thinking about you. I'm thinking about you like socks think about shoes. Like an alcoholic thinks about booze. Like a jazz player thinks about blues. I'm thinking about you like shampoo thinks about hair. Like life thinks about air. I'm thinking about you like eyes think about seeing. like bees think about stinging. Like musicians think about singing. I'm thinking about you like lawn mowers thinks about grass. Like gold thinks about brass.  Like students think about class.  I'm thinking about you.
