Icks

My mind is everywhere 
it took its flight 
the moment I awakened 
dashing to that corner 
looking out the window 
running to the kitchen 
like a dog hearing
something then run back 
bounding onto the bed 
trying to be playful 
even these words aren’t 
enough to tie it 
down play I must 
hoping that you reading 
understand that sometimes my 
mind needs its freedom 
to shake the icks
