and wouldn't it be weird <br />if we could click on our name page <br />and see - our mind! <br /> <br />spread out in all its random, <br />untidy, crossed-out, raggedy, <br />contradictory, half-chewed, <br />etc. <br /> <br />it just doesn't bear <br />half thinking about <br /> <br />how clever of, let's say, <br />Providence, <br />to keep it like it is, invisible; we, <br /> <br />letting it out under supervision, <br />teeth clean, polished shoes, <br />opinions prepared <br />for the lunch-break <br />and water cooler <br />and photocopier <br /> <br />and under supervision even more strict, <br />maximum security, <br />'association hour', when <br />it mixes with the lifers, <br />the condemned, <br />the emotions, <br />the instincts; <br /> <br />yes, better keep mind <br />behind closed doors; <br />there's only so much space <br />for the untidy, <br />savage, <br />so busy, <br />inconsequential, <br />vulnerable, <br />rutted, <br />God-given so they say <br />mind.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mind-revealed/
