My Next Brain

My next brain needs a bigger cow catcher. The one I have now barely clears wolves and bears. I want a scoop that will clear a huge swath. Can push away skyscrapers and fire stairs. To be able to blade away snowplows too. Would make my heart leap with sheer crazy joy. A blade to whisk away all sad, all thoughts of blue. A fifty-five foot cowcatcher of fun, oh boy!

You probably can get a big one inside my dendrite highway; no wait. Stop. I am using it!

I love your use of "cowcatcher", it's Americana to the core. The first time I heard of it was in college when I read the book "The American Slanguage" by H.L. Mencken. And "blade away" in reference to snowplows is descriptive and original. Bravo! / M

We use it all the time; my husband put on on my truck, and I love it! Knowing if I hit anything, too bad for the other guy.
