My Mind Is Warm Today

Demons stand against the sidewalls of my brain Tossing red hot peppers into my dendrite makers Shaking their truth, wiggling their tongues Yet saying nothing My mind is warm today Not hot yet Not hot thank God My mind is warm The dragon is asleep at the base of my spine Slumbering quietly, not ready to come fully awake The demons know there will be hell to pay when she does. She is a she dragon of course, a he dragon is never fierce enough. My mind is warm today Not hot yet Not hot thank God My mind is warm The demons are laughing now They have gotten the best of me They have taken my energy, and pulled giant tricks. The dragon is in danger of waking. My mind is warm today Not hot yet Not hot thank God My mind is warm I take a few pills to keep the dragon at bay But it is six o’clock, and I am hungry. When I get hungry I get mean and mad and cranky. Dragon comes out full force devouring everybody My mind is haywire. Hot! Hot! Hot! Stay away! You are the last friend I’ve got! The dragon is here. Take cover. Dive! I am fully awake, and she is alive!
