Gave up fat thoughts
Some skinny ones
Hand me down thoughts
Thoughts with sharp edges
Gave up worried thoughts
Fear-full thoughts
Late night thoughts
Deep fried thoughts of shame and failure
Circular thoughts that rob me of sleep
Thoughts that make no daylight sense
Gave up defensive thoughts
Thoughts of war and thoughts of gore
Thoughts of getting even
Victory thoughts making other people losers
I gave up a belief that all beliefs are permanent
Cleared out black and white thinking
Made room for sparkling dreams in color
Found a small dirty bag of fear and loathing
Don’t know where it came from
Turned it into compost
Dumped an old box of prejudice
Never did have a use for it
Gave up some indifference
Thought twice about ambivalence
Found some unused courage
Created a space to laugh and cry
Micro-waved a pound of half-baked ideas
Sold another pound on E-Bay
Turned in beliefs that didn’t belong to me
Gave away thoughts designed to make me look good
Made a lot more room for love
The work goes on
Still cleaning up the mind
