on having a brain that works wrong


there is a normal brain
the left and right hemispheres
synchronized and exchanging
responsibilities

there is my brain
a clown convention
convened in haunted house
hours of fearful paralysis
insane bursts of terror birthed energy

i live among the normals
watching them in wonder
the amazing things they do
like when faced with a difficult task
they just tell themselves
to buckle in, hunker down, and finish it
and that works
