Today's word is "parapraxis" ... par-uh-PRAK-sis ... Psychology. a slip of the tongue or pen, forgetfulness, misplacement of objects, or other error thought to reveal unconscious wishes or attitudes. (Dictionary.com)
What?
Cereal in the refrigerator,
Oh, where did I put my keys?
Did I say you were delicious?
Let me forget that please!
If a parapraxis,
Is something ordinary,
Better watch what I do and say,
Boy, now I'm feeling wary!
