Your Brain Is not a Computer
Leaning on the lukewarm comfort
of a microwaved coffee,
you tried so hard to comply,
to quiet the wild,
to flatten,
to fake,
to debug your doubts,
to disconnect from the pulse.
How—I don’t know.
Somehow, though,
it resisted.
The old grey graveyard,
the moist matter making the mind,
with sparkling synapses,
wired in silver—
crackled.
Your brain
is not a computer.
