Unlocking an Inner Universe

Which is worse
Losing your mind
Or your keys
Actually one relates to the other
Things go missing
A pair of glasses
Ring of keys
Retracing steps
Where can they be
Life reexamined
In tantalizing increments
Was I here or there
What jacket or pocket
Lapses of memory
Swirling spin cycle of
Daily tasks and torments
Brain too cluttered
Sorting out overloads
Anything can short circuit
Our too fragile sanity
From normal to paranormal
At dizzy warp speed
Running a familiar drill
Where are the backups
Off to hardware store or optometrist
More things to do
Already jam-packed schedule
Never enough time in a day
Despite uncanny ability
To waste most of it
TV or not to be
Surfing our email
Obsessed with IPhone
Till that too goes missing
When I checked DOW
Was it in the car
In front of Big Y
Nest egg bouncing up and down
Relentless agita
Rich in morning but broke at night
Then low and behold
Perhaps a reprieve
Lost is found often
So silly and obvious
Vow to be more aware
Not really it seems
More truth and dare
Lurking in shadows
Mocking the day
Again falling off a cliff
Deep into abyss
Where keys and stuff
Play hide and seek
Making even the strong
Weak minded and meek
