A Reading
Reading my own mind
keeping score of all those weird moments
that come and go like ghost trains.
Watching dendritic branches
grow fat purple plums
and hard green grapes on tangled vines.
Cortical cells working overtime.
There's a sort of poem here,
its sunning itself in an afterglow
and won't appear until I look away.
A neurotic cat uses an unused patch
of grey matter for a litter box,
damp dribbles run down my spine.
Now mind flaps gossamer wings
and breaks the tension with a brain fart.
Brain and mind dance a jig together
in a comic parody of an unhinged intellect.
Enough of this reading!
Got to splash words
onto white-water once more.
Got to.
