Notes About The Poem

BRAINS

Eating them won’t make you smarter 
Flaying them, frying them won’t make you high 
Scraping them off the pavement 
Certainly, won’t make you fly 
Peeling them off some stickers 
May certainly make you laugh and cry 
At the same time like me 
Synchronicity 
There’re always two sides to every coin 
Just like there are two halves for every brain 
The left and the right may just hold a private conversation 
Inside the skull, my numbskull sculling time 
Scrolling through my mind 
Perhaps, this is the time 
I reach out to another 
Other person with some brains 
Who believes like me and who's not insane: 
For some unknown reason 
Eating poetrysoup
Really satisfies my brains

Hi Ben! I can tell you are a deep thinker and I do like the fact that you’re writing in your own style. For me, I’ll have to reach out to bring a bigger than mine. I wonder if I have one.. I can’t stay at one side and look for your brightness or genius. I have to be at site. That’s totally free and allows free expression of opinion.. it used to be that way here but now we all have to talk. Nice and not tell the truth.. Pangie
