I Think

-Ron Chelsvig

I was thinking

I was thinking about thinking my way out of my thoughts

I thought about it 

and thought about it 

and thought about it

And the more I thought about it, 

the more I thought about it

I was going crazy,

or at least I thought I was going crazy

And then I started thinking about NOT thinking about my thoughts

I thought about NOT thinking about my thoughts for some time

But the more I thought about NOT thinking about my thoughts the more I thought about thinking about them

So I think I can't think my way out of my thoughts

I think
