```

O my mind,

You are asking me why

I do not want to utilise you

The way I utilise my heart.

Every day my heart,

On its own,

Goes to the soul-laundry

To be laundered,

But you do not want to do that.

How do you then expect me

To use you every day

When you do not at all

Keep yourself clean?
