Description Tell me what a normal brain thinks about,
and I will do my best. I will take
the right trains, I will find the right stops,
I will travel from point A to point B
and shun the wild wending ways in between.
I will give up this mantle of my creation,
accept a machine-washable uniform
cut from the same cloth as generations before me
who laid their dreams to sleep in the blood
and bones of the children that would follow them.
I am not the sinner or the saint, just some
middling human who didn't know any better
and I am tired, I am just so tired.

"wild wending" is a wonderful spot of imagery there. I enjoyed this!

That's very kind, Fen, thank you. I'm okay, just a hard time of the year for me.
