TheBanyanTree: YOU HAVE NO BRAIN!

YOU HAVE NO BRAIN!

Scitter, scatter, you have no brain!
But I do, I do.
I feel it in there, helter-skelter,
Breaking, brewing
Going here,
Going there,
But never going anywhere.

All messy, clogging, stopping, breaking,
It just will not think.
Not in frame 
With what you say.
Not in frame with
What you do.
Never in frame,
Never contained,
No direction
Real or otherwise.

Scitter, scatter, you have no brain.
Youre right
I say,
Not in here,
Not today
With breaking news
Breaking sound
Barriers*
It has come undone.

I leave them lie
Those mighty barriers,
I let them go
And watch the lightning
Crash and blow
All things known
And burn a patch
That is its own, inside this brain of mine.

You see its there
It really is.
Its just a glob
A blob, a slime.
It has no shape
It cannot rhyme
Or reason
Or think
Or play
Or work
Or breathe
Or live
Or whine
Or cry
Or moan
Or groan
It simply IS.
It does exist.

Scitter, scatter, you have no brain.
I do, I do!
It is there,
I know it is.
It is there,
Just helter-skelter,
Going here,
Going there,
And never going
Anywhere.
