Brain Bent Like Rails
brain,
bent like rails
forced out of shape
like a bad collision
imagination,
dyslexic and back to front
crumpled,
like a piece of paper
thrown into the basket
rattling around
like a marble on the drain
force of nature
brain,
backward and upside down
like lost hot air balloon
too far from the ground
thrown to the lions
and touching paws
a polar icebreaker
desperate to be explored
James Garratt – Sunday 21st August 2005
