Your MIND
is not you
but of you
by design
it does four things well

Keeps you safe
mostly
frequently
bindingly
blindly

Stores memories
sparsely
incorrectly
obtusely

Retrieval
often glitchy

Stores information
if pertinent
in pieces
filing mysteriously

Retrieval
often glitchy

Processes information
with or without
discernment
or distinctions

And Chatters
insistently
moronically
morosely
frivolously
loudly
insanely
constantly

The latter can be controlled
with training
with enlightenment
with breathing
with drugs
with nutrition
with seminars
with fashion
with wealth
with sex

with love
with things
with travel

with…

but it takes a lifetime
No it doesn’t
Yes it does
you sure?
I think I’m sure!
Where did you hear that?
I don’t know
I think
I read it somewhere
Or someone told me

Or…
