10/12
plastic brain
Once the book closes
and you never touched
that paper again
You'd forget
and re-wire it to radiation
the one who taught you
insta-dopamine hit
your attention flushed-out dry
I wanted to open the book
I swear I don't want my eyes
to weaken and go dry
just because I can't help it
Oh, brain, why so plastic?
I'd forget to read
I'd bring it back again
As if an exercise
Do it.
Do it!
Fuckin' do it!
But I chose to scroll
my phone away
I want my reading muscles back
How then?
I'd train you back
Such weakness of the human brain
If calories are eaten
So is the brain moving, and moving
To dopamine
To nothing
