Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Ticked On and Off

What makes my mind tick I be asked.

And I answer, think like a clock,

Depending on what I be tasked

To think, ticking to me does talk

About what be my mode of thought.

Be I fearful, happy or sad,

Impulse controls on those I've got.

But messes me up mode is mad,

Even though warning signals sound,

My ticking tends out of control.

All my thoughts go spinning around,

In search of vague self righteous goal.

So when ticked off, my mind I let

To trouble time, my mind to set.
