brainy

i need a brain.
at some point i think i swapped mine for some kind of mushy, goo.
grainy and gross.
it's up there doing nothing.
at least, nothing it's supposed to.

just taking up space, horribly degrading and unkind,
my brain is falling behind the worst of the last.
the never-ending race of the blind leading the blind.

sometimes, i need to smack it back to life.
ready, clear. shocking it with a pair of cold metal paddles.
it's not working, mostly just flat-lining.

great, here it goes again.
leave a message as i'm dying.
