Brains and Eyes

A brain is a search engine

seeking itself.

It has glass eyes

to look upon a world it makes and remakes

this phenomenon is often called: thinking,

but it's not as simple as thoughts

it has got good seeds and bad seeds

and it plants them into its host body

like landmines.

People

(that’s what we call everyone else

with softly ticking brains),

People

want answers

but all the brains in the world,

only know how to feed

the shrinking flesh,

and their glass eyes

are easily dazzled by light.
