The smallest glitch in the story of the mind

I’ve started writing poetry…

It’s a bit embarrassing to call it poetry as I’ve never been a fan and don’t feel like I know what poetry even is, but lately I have felt the desire to write less and express more, and ‘poetry’ seems as good a word as any to describe the outcome.

Somewhere
in the midst of it all
the smallest glitch
in the story of the mind
is noticed.

Its size often results in no immediate action
from the actuary
of the mind
but the actuary of the mind
is keeping records.

One day
in the midst of it all
the smallest glitch
in the story of the mind
is noticed
again
and the actuary of the mind 
can no longer record it
as insignificant.

On that day
the actuary of the mind
opens a file and
raises the question

Why?

From that day
in the midst of it all
the story of the mind
is no longer
exempt
from investigation
and the significance
of the smallest glitch
grows

One day
in the midst of it all
the smallest glitch
in the story of the mind
shatters the illusion
that the story was ever more than
just
a
story.
