my brain burns
and i can't sleep
too much poetry
too many difficult books
a part of my head
has popped open
i believe i have
a metaphysical hernia
brought on by
too much thinking
only one thing to do
truss it up tightly
and turn on reality TV
after a few episodes
my brain turns to mush
and the swelling
subsides.
brain dead bliss
not a synapse firing
absolute relief
of no thought
perfect slumber
of the seriously
stupid
Actually, I don't own a TV. :)
