catch

the human brain
is a human child,
caught
in the center of
a human storm,
gripping nothing
but
a butterfly net.

and
at the end of the net,
the brain
contains a swarm
of mementos,
covered in it's own mucus,
secreting a thousand beliefs
that can never be proven.

we will either keep
or let the captives
go.

  1. My net catches all the useless crap (the dead dolphins/rock music knowledge) and lets all the useful stuff (delicious tuna/where I left my car keys) go.
