ENCORE ENCORE* to these songs in my head a symphony of harmonicas dissipating throughout each hemisphere of my brain i am now dancing around my success and no longer my addictions or my demons the melody that crescendos from my frontal lobe sticks with me and resonates with every note that i hum i am happy now and *no my cerebrum is not malfunctioning even living with mistakes is more simple i am having less trouble admitting that i was never right back then but today i am right here right now wildly fortunate with this glistening euphoric sense of entitlement singing along with the songs pulsing through my veins
