dunno...just asking

 
 
 
why is it that when
we work on our hair
to get it just the way  
we want it
 
it never quite turns
out that
way
 
but when we are
rushed, jump out  
of the shower,
barely run a  
comb
through  
it
 
it looks exactly the
way we had hope
for
 
dunno...
just asking
 
why is it when we
lose something
at home we can
spend hours in
a frantic pace
searching
searching,
not find it,  
then
give  
up
 
but days, weeks
months later
while walking
into a room we have
been in thousands
of time, THERE IT
IS...the lost item
( and we know we
  looked in that room)
 
I dunno...
just asking
 
and why is it when
we are trying to  
solve a problem
we can think, think
and think for endless
hours and draw
a blank
 
and then when we
are mindlessly
watching T.V.
talking to a friend
or taking the dog
for a walk...
 
BANG! the answer
becomes crystal
clear
 
dunno...
just asking
 
( and I won't even get  
  into what happens to  
  that other damn sock
  in the dryer)
