There’s All Kinds of Ways to Change Your Thought

The thing you have to do
Is make up rules and then
Keep them, that’s what you do,

Said Anne to her friend’s class
Keen to learn from the red
Side of the world what all

That red meant. I like red,
Said Anne, and I put it
In, all these ways. I guess

We got to the next town.
You just make up your rules,
Like a game. That’s the thing,

It’s like a game that you
Make up. You keep your rules.
You can hear in your head

How the thought should sound like.
The voice comes with the thought.
Live half lives. Half in your

Life and half in your head.
How do we make it work?
Like when I went, we walked

And it took us six cheeks—
Weeks—to go to the end.
So it sort of seems fake.
