I checked my brain on a flight to Spain
And naively paid the fee,
But when we reached the airport,
I found myself brain-free.
The flight company waived all fault.
Insurance would not pay.
But why someone would want my brain,
I honestly cannot say.

I Checked My Brain on a Flight to Spain
Schedule
Something I cannot (apparently) keep
Consistent: a seemingly
Hopeless
Endeavor,
Doomed to fail repeatedly
Until or unless I (alone)
Learn and make an
Effort to change.
Easter Egg Hunt
Flashes of color
Snuck between grass, leaves, and earth:
Squeals, laughter, and tears.
Anxiety
An earthquake bursting inside your chest
Like a tremor through your very soul:
Which is more frightening –
Fear itself
Or this reaction beyond control?
Stopped
I stood in sand the color of sky
That stretched to infinity on any side,
An expanse of air or ground or cage
That constantly moved but never changed,
Rearranged exactly the same whether I
Stopped
Or turned
Or closed my eyes:
A blank page without edge or divide.
A turn to the left: no change of view.
A step and a turn brought nothing new.
Until the sand moved,
And I stopped, too.
