Sometimes my fiance does a thing.
When I stray too far in mind.
A thing that stops me in my tracks
and makes me look behind.
I'm chasing truth in a single fact
she does not argue, contend or redact
We reach no concord and no pact
But with a simple trick that does not react
I regain what I could not find
I forget now what it was
she does: perhaps just a tap
or a joke or look for
all it takes is an empty book
to balance my wayward mind
