Mind

The vagaries of the mind-
difficult to fathom
flits in seconds from
one thought to another

Some thoughts positive
often times negative
presuming, assuming
and second guessing

Assigning motives
to happenings, incidents..
many why & what questions-
why he/she didn't smile at me?
acknowledge me...
perhaps didn't like
something I'd done ?
what could this mean to me..
our future transactions?

Said a wise one
" I am an old man and
  I have h'd many worries
many of which never happened!
