mindful excision
picture me this
an abundance of the mind
method of loci
squidward in the great alone
the prairies and shorelines
available to anyone
who can meditate
who can do not disturb
their brain cells for a spell
what pop up blocker
what signal jammer
okay, what sweet little
something something
takes me away from me?
so crisply and completely
a yolk slithered away
from its freckled shell
