The Process of Thought
It starts with nothing
Naught and squat
And then a ring
And then a dot
And then a string
So tightly taut
That's the beginning
Of a thought.
The eye is the weapon
The ear is radar
The image is ammunition
The mind’s just bizarre
With the tearing of limbs
You take a breath
The thought is grim
The thought is Death.
The eyes love this
The ears are hating
The image: open canvas
The mind is a painting
With artist's skill
You do your duty
The thought is a thrill
The thought is Beauty.
The eyes are eyes
The ears are ears
The image always lies
The mind always steers
The thoughts that descend
Are simply abnormality
But The Thought never ends
It just morphs back into reality
Snap.
