Brains


I think my mind an odd machine.
It works,
A knocking engine gets me home.
How it works though, 
Creating magic dreams,
I am not sure.
The mystery grows

In every soul
Like a germ sprouting self.
Now, we may open safely human skulls
To see with our eyes
And feel for ourselves
The micro-machine nature built.

But never will we find
That seed of self
For it ‘ not exist
Betwixt folds of wet flesh
Nor hearts of warm blood
Or pockets of wealth.
Not in books by wisemen
Who, knowing best, 

Live lives just as you and I
Just the same.
They too, find minds these odd machines.
