Brain

Brainstorm

But not in the thinking way

Brain-storm as Brain is a storm 

Brain is the blasting

Of sideways bullets of water 

Brain is wind-whipping 

Trees and cables down

Brain is a driving hurricane 



Uncontrollable crash at the red light 

Red light stop 

Thoughts all go

Does that make sense? 

No, I figured



Brain 

Is disfigured

Brain 

Is a kitten caught tangled in yarn 

Brain 

Is tired but hyperactive 



Brain 

Falling 

Falling 

Somewhere I wouldn’t know 

I never know 



Brain is on autopilot 

Walking up and down the stairs 

Pacing the halls 

Answers with no thoughts

All play with no work 



Brain’s best friends 

Are Procrastination and Depression 



Brain is undiagnosed 

Brain needs suppressant 

But simulationly needs a boost 



Brain 

Needs the voices to stop

But the thoughts to go 

Brain 

Needs quiet in the head 

But words out the mouth



Brain knows what to say but can’t say it 

Brain turns off and spaces out 

Brain’s most used words are What and Huh

Or Ut and Oh 



Brain is multiple drivers at the helm 

Out of control 

Left 

Right

Forward

Backwards



Broken pieces

Held together with nothing more than

Glitter glue

Chewing gum

Sprinkled with some hopes and dream 



You wouldn’t recognize it 

As more than a messy lump of mush

Brain is a dumpster fire 

Brain is a list of news reports from 2020



Brain is letters in the wrong places 

Brain is having to say out Wed-nes-day 



Brain is everything gone wrong

Brain is damaged



But here still

Lives Brain
