Downtown Slowdown

Published on

Not about cars,
nor traffic of the vehicular,
I am instead talking about the brain,
my brain, with all the neurons
and axons, which form a kind of
botanical roadway, also the blood,
and that the slowdown
is my coming up with pomes.

Now, now, now, I know what you
will say and believe me, I have told
myself as well, but does he listen?
There are unlimited pomes and
of subjects there are even more
but that does not stop the
sitting and staring and blank looking
performed at the page
when the time arises.

Maybe some new petrol,
the high octane super charged,
but super expensive, stuff that
I have to make sure
I do not put in my car every refill,
this is literal this time and not
a metaphor, though what would
metaphorically be petrol for literal brains?

The point is…I am not entirely sure,
but I need a head taser,
a jolt bumper,
a mind zapper,
an imagination buzzer,
a little kick up the brain,
because the world is an ocean
and these fish are ideas.
