The test results are back!
It appears that a:

                       has

replaced your brain.

A tablet of ink
Colourful dreams

Pencils
SQUID Aug 2017
Pencils have voices
some are wheedly.
Others, warm, ripe,
Fruit. For hearing.

Inflatable bride march,
Plastic enormous,
Stoical hens,
Mystery "pleasures".

Any direction
SQUID Aug 2017
This/ you/  we/ could go in
Any direction.
But... I hope you'll/...
We'll -- write a song!
not the best but the sentiment's there! I like to express the clunkiness that is in interactions/ communication/ hopes/ ambitions too.

Goodbye Swirl
SQUID Aug 2017
Now I miss my painting.
Hologram lizards
Delectful trees
Green tomatoes.
While everyone was away, I decided to go for it and rip down my old art. I'd just been to the Royal Academy Art Summer Show and absorbed near 1000 pieces of art so I wanted to move on. Then someone emailed to ask to buy it. That painting had been on the wall since I was at school, about 19 years.   Irritating me. Why now? Yes - life IS that strange. I think it was a test.

I could try sellotaping it back together.

Nervous teeth under ice
Tiny voice repeats
Chattering pins

Art is just a way for
some - to organise
our thoughts and to
deliver them.

The Lift

Stuck in the lift again.

Snores... draw a forest

To sleep without old fear
Gnawing at your breath
I wish you sleep,
Sweet innocence.

A happy sleeplessness
SQUID Aug 2017
A "happy" sleeplessness.
Fresh sun on your skin,
Daydream shadows,
Blight careworn woe.

Some people want to know,
Some people don't and
Some - - - just haven't
quite decided.

Ignorance

Mauve fantasist of walls
Seeks "clarity" as
loud concrete lies
rupture his skin.
