The Ball of Reason

I found
my reason
when it
fell apart
fell flat
on the
floor
I bent
down
to pick
it up
and grasped
at nothing
my vision
impaired
I grabbed
at the
floor
I've lost
my reason
it fell
so hard
I heard
it crack
and shatter
I've lost
my reason
to have
it no
more
I can't
go on
without
my
ball of reason...
