Convoluted thoughts intertwine like cats squabbling in the yard. My mind is a neighborhood. Scores of houses and cars, all neatly arranged; Like packages wrapped under the Christmas tree. Inside are storms and fires. Beautiful earthquakes shake them about like a locomotive running laps. Graffiti on buildings and discarded tires. A harmonious melody of rain and a whistling teapot. Bells tolling. Bikes litter the cul-de-sac. A basketball rolls into a puddle. Daisies and peonies sprouting out of little baskets, hanging from kitchen windowsills. Streetlamps ignite.

My Mind is a Neighborhood
Convoluted thoughts intertwine like cats squabbling in the yard. My mind is a neighborhood. Scores of houses and cars, all neatly arranged; Like packages wrapped under the Christmas tree. Inside are storms and fires. Beautiful earthquakes shake them about like a locomotive running laps. Graffiti on buildings and discarded tires. A harmonious melody of rain and a whistling teapot. Bells tolling. Bikes litter the cul-de-sac. A basketball rolls into a puddle. Daisies and peonies sprouting out of little baskets, hanging from kitchen windowsills. Streetlamps ignite.
