Get it off

It would be best
she said
if you could get it off your mind.

Get it off my mind.
Do I look stupid?
Do you think I don't know?
Do you think
I
do not want to?
But how
does one take it off?
Is it a puzzle piece
we just remove
is it a tumor
that we cut
is it flesh
that rip apart?
How do I get it off my mind?
Maybe
there's something wrong
with my mind.
Everything that enters it
remains locked there
and turns it into
dust.
