Going Going Gone

They say the mind goes when you get older
like it's a bad thing but I don't know
maybe it needs a change of scenery
maybe it got a job that pays better
maybe it owes someone a lot of money
maybe it's on the run from the law
	for it's many, many crimes
maybe it needs to establish residency
	in the state in which it wishes
	to run for political office
maybe it's been in a long-distance relationship
	for years and is finally moving
	to be with the love of its life
	(and is secretly terrified
	that it's been played for a fool
	and will find out its love
	is a fish)(but don't worry it'll be fine)
maybe its grandmother died and someone
	needs to keep the house in the family
	its great-great-great-grandpappy built
	the house after all and sure
	it's a bit drafty and still uses gas
	but it's really a nice house
	and no mortgage	who's gonna pass that up
maybe it's never been to Finland and always wanted to go
	and it suddenly realized hey it's retired
	the kids are all married off (except for one
	and that's fine) and why not today
	why not pack a small bag and fly to Finland
	no itinerary just a sense of adventure
	and a taste for reindeer (and fish)
	it'll send you a postcard once it's found a place
	but I wouldn't hold my breath I've got a feeling
	it's gone for good this time my point being
if you love something let it go
it won't come back
that's the point
of leaving
