Brain Cells.

BRAIN CELLS.


By D. Jonas Laurence



My brain cells are gone
along with the dodo and the sabre-toothed tiger,
the moa and the mammoth
gone to ends of the universe to be bounced off the
nothingness
passing by comets and star clusters
and black holes and planets
witnesses to amazing beauty
witnesses to amazing secrets
witnesses to vast stores of knowledge
holders of all the answers
to all the questions
that we have ever asked
when we have been drunk beneath the heavens
looking to the sky
while drinking yet another beer

and paradoxically killing more brain cells



THE END.
