Two sides


It is common to accuse the right or left lobe
for your logical or creative stumble,

when, in reality, these two dimensions of self,
the brain divided, may be called Past & Future,
or memory and planning.

People still get stuck.

The human skull does not seal the two sides
as one mind, until around age thirty.

Conveniently, it is also easy to divide
All people into two types;
Those that arrive early and those that are chronically late.

I will wait
until now comes
together.


The frigate and dolphin sleep
one lobe at a time as they both traverse across
mirroring vast expanses of blue. 

‘Biologists’, we call them,
all conclude that They, the bird and the aquatic mammal
do not communicate in the same way,
Exactly.

Have you ever thought about someone you knew,
historically, and then
seen them somewhere
presently,
out of nowhere?

This is not called ‘coincidence',
It is pronounced eloquence.

And then...

  Change is like that strong smell of cut grass or chopped wood that stops you still. Patterns, a symbol can be an illegible sign,  at first...
