Think Again

I thought once again
and again and again
and still the nagging
thing rang an alarm
clock in an assembly
line repetitive factory
too much time on my
hands think again our
Supervisor said again

I thought twice thrice
four to the bar again
with my factory wife
any number of numb
clock ticking times X
and after time was up
the world no more in
need of time clocks
we laid off thought

thought again and again
of my time on the line
spent thinking not off
the pieces clicking by
but on some other
think I can’t now seem
to remember again
lost as I am to thoughts
again and again and again
