brain surgery


there is work to be done
will you take the time
to do it right

that novel you’re reading
don’t let it get away
there is something special for you
at the very end

I hear the rose-building sessions
have done you wonders
soon you’ll be surprised
what you can do with legos

the hummingbird glass blower
recently arrived from arizona
asking if you’re still around
of course I told him
you’ve worked your way
back into the game
by way of reinvention

  1. I love this as a lobotomy piece written by a doctor in an asylum to his patient.
