on some days
words ma k e don' tsens e
eyesscanthroughletters,onpages
pause at commas
and move along arrows
and the brain...
the brain buffers...at its own
...pace

on those days especially
you must gather your feelings:
listen to what they think,
nod your head in agreement,
smile at them the kindest smile you can,
and tell them,

thoughts are not facts.
