The Thought Organ, A How-To

The Simple Guide to Your Thought Organ

This package is so fragile
Please handle it with care
It goes inside your skull
and it rests under your hair.
The wrinkles are on purpose
so please don't be alarmed
the color is intentional
it really is unharmed
When caring for this package
There are some things to note
It must get sleep to function 
So all night-ers are a don't.
Half a brain cell will occur
if thinking for too long,
also if things don't make sense,
or emotions are so strong.
This object is exceptional 
But sometimes gets confused
take a breath and think again-
you did not blow a fuse.
Do not keep it active
for 12 hours or more-
the package will be hurting
And this you can't ignore.
And that's the end,
there's not much else
we hope you will have fun!
Please enjoy your thought organ
We'll only give you one.

  • A Space Among The Stars

    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to get binoculars
    To see the dentist on the moon
    And find the next Uber at noon.
    To live in a space among the stars
    I'd have to float to school in cars.
  • Frost

    Its fingers were hot
    and cold and
    sweet and dark.
    All at the same time.

    Sleeeeep. 

    It whispered in her ear.
    Her petals shivered.
    Its breath ran slowly
    down
    her stem and
    tickled a leaf.
