And my mind a ship
floating sideways in the wind.

It rocks to and fro,
but never embraces
what it replaces.

It bobs up and down,
unhurriedly,
disgorging long letters
in hermetically-sealed bottles

which float,
adrift,
out of the picture's frame.

The simplest thoughts are the best.

Dogs and cats do not have souls
Our thoughts can be contained in polls
Hitler rose through gun controls
Sin depends on choice of holes.

The simplest thoughts are the best.

Race issues are black and white
Repeating something makes it right.
Gather your feelings, hold them tight
Keep your core out of the light.

The simplest thoughts are the best.

Once a thief, always a thief
Trusting folks will bring you grief
Truth is weaker than belief
It won't get read if it's not brief.

The simplest thoughts are the best.

Never touch without a glove
The eagle's stronger than the dove
You can control another's love
And if they hate you, see above.

The simplest thoughts are the best.

Do not question, do not try
Never, ever, wonder why
Always be ashamed to cry
Friend's another word for spy.

The simplest thoughts are the best.
The simplest words are the deepest.
The simplest source is the strongest.
The simplest lies are the easiest.

The simplest poem is "Follow No One.".
