Rocks for Brains

©Jennifer Paige

Cracking, crumbling
Constant erosion by thought
Grinding, shifting
Along the fault in my head
Trying to retrieve the ideas falling in
They never come
My knowledge is rapped in a fathomless pit
Grey-matter, rubble
the mind is a very unpredictable thing
A volcano spewing wisdom one day
A high-powered vacuum cleaning out my thoughts the next
Other days it does nothing at all
Too much pressure causes earthquakes
Headaches
Too much motion causes landslides
It hurts to shake my head
It rattles
Rocks for brains
