FIRE IN THE BRAIN
Children see me run through the streets,
And wonder, what is it all about, my hurrying.
My eyes push forward,
Cause me to squint,
And then I break into a smile.
Night after night in steady flow,
Feelings and ideas collect; press fierce,
Hard against my brow.
The pressure makes for heat, then fire in the brain.
I hear words march with noise
Akin to soldiers' boots slapping on pavement.
Then I see your face.
The beauty of your large brown eyes
Makes my brain run riot,
Engulfs my neural circuitry.
Oh I smell wheat grass!
It's being blended with fresh strawberries and oranges.
I love the juices' heady odor,
When ever I breathe it in --
I am reminded of you.
We looked out the window.
We sat upon stools at a Formica bar,
A long, plate-glass window provided unobstructed view,
And we people watched the intersection,
Corners at avenue and street, the sidewalk before us,
They became our theater, and we agreed;
It was pleasant evening’s entertainment.
Pressed, cardboard cartons contained our suppers.
We ate our meals with plastic forks and knives;
The napkins were brown, recycled paper.
Believe me, no irony intended. Honest!
Every memory, every instant
My being with you, every occasion was lovely!
I shall die a happy man.
Die a happy man?
Here's my defense.
However I may wonder,
Whether ultimately I write fact or fiction.
Do I possess truth or fall to illusion?
I know that two forces bind me,
As is the case with Siamese Twins,
Who are born to share common cerebrum.
