I’m Thinking about You

by Sarah Brownlee

I’m thinking about you
Like a fork thinks about a spoon
Like the sun thinks about noon
Like a werewolf thinks about the moon

I’m thinking about you
Like my stomach thinks about lunch
Like teeth think about crunch
Like detectives think about a hunch

I’m thinking about you
Like a building thinks about its super
Like we think about the future
Like rap fans think about Future

I’m thinking about you
Like ABBA thinks about Waterloo
Like smoke thinks about a flue
Like a toilet thinks about poo

I’m thinking about you
Like solid thinks about gas
Like volume thinks about mass
Like a gentleman thinks about class

I’m thinking about you
Like a clock thinks about time
Like lemons think about lime
Like this poem thinks about rhyme

I’m thinking about you
Like pyramids think about Giza
Like towers think about Pisa
Like Mona thinks about Lisa

I’m thinking about you
Like a groom thinks about a ring
Like a mattress thinks about a spring
Like nobody thinks about Bing

I’m thinking about you
Like Rachel thinks about Ross
Like a stone thinks about moss
Like Fortnite thinks about floss

I’m thinking about you
Like trouble thinks about toil
Like olives think about oil
Like victors think about the spoil

I’m thinking about you
Like bananas think about split
Like clothes think about fit
Like a catcher thinks about a mitt

I’m thinking about you
Like a catcher thinks about rye
Like Sylvester thinks about Sly
Like tie thinks about dye

I’m thinking about you
Like a woman in a trance
Like song thinks about dance
Like I think about romance

I’m thinking about you
Like the sand thinks about the sea
Like a pod thinks about a pea
Like I hope you’re thinking about me
