Lessons from A Plastic Brain

Posit a reduction,
assume a position,
reduce this position,
now you've reached a base
or low level of realism.

Redact the diction,
rearrange the drama,
verge on mental recital,
very soon you can taste
a vice or a syrupy potion.

Suspend your knowledge,
Suspect your seldom
seen but heard wisdom
and eventually a knit garland
will bridge the world and you.

Cut the tie,
mold the opalescent matter,
form your own brain
to your specifications, and let
the regions that digitize experience die.

Let your diet
dictate how your heart
opens and breathes
so it never has to rot inside out
from sweetness perspiring.

Heave a breath
for each moment
you jog your mind
and find a fire you thought
was long burned out and dead.

Very differently
constructed hearts seem
to radiate different auras,
so let yours radiate how it might
and find its own way.

Eat the honey
hand to mouth like
a bear in clear summer
and let the sweetness drip down your throat
into your thoracic cavity.

A list of newest things
is almost past its use
once its been written,
so find an older one
and have it rewritten in Sanskrit.
