My Brain Is a Racetrack – Written Saturday 7th January 2023 (Aged 47)

My Brain Is a Racetrack

my brain is a racetrack
one,
with no bends
with too many chicanes
no speed limits,
and that is my brain
my brain,
it is a racetrack
without valid insurance claims
a million drivers,
none of whom have a safe name
pit stops,
and tyre changes
mechanics offer to fix me
and my turbulent brain
but i hold back,
because my brain is a racetrack
and i am exhausted,
from the constant laps




James Garratt – Saturday 7th January 2023
