How It Downloads

My day-brain opens its hamster cage;
mind finds its eyes. 
I am still downloading.  
I have a whole fictional life to remember,
otherwise,
 I might see myself as an unwritten poem.

Open-mouthed I wait, uncollected, 
for the drool of being.

" otherwise, I might see myself as an unwritten poem." So enigmatic yet something so familiar! Take care.
