Spoken Words: Workaholic Brain

Workaholic Brain

The mind works day and night
24 hours a day
7 days a week
365 days a year
not a second it misses
Not an dull moment it has

Even when her body sleeps
her mind dreams of
dreams of gorgeous men on a beach
Dreams of unhealthy eating and not getting fat
Dreams of winning all crowns and contests wearing nothing more than ripped jeans and singlet
Dreams of the perfect guy who loves you
who lusts for you
who worships the ground you walk on

The ground so green
With trees all over the place
Huge fruit bearing trees
With beautiful; flowers that I can put in a vase

the vase I can place on my table
when I serve dinner tonight
For dinner I can cook my special chicken roast with potato and pumpkins
My mouth waters already

The bottle of water I bought today tasted funny
artisan water they say
Spring water they say

Spring break is coming up
Skimpy shorts and singlets
Ray-bans of different colors
Lemonades for 15 cents a glass
Brownies, cookies and cakes

Mum used to bake a lot
Her oven doesn't work anymore
She is the best cook I know
I know!
I have tried other cakes and cookies
I don't like it that much

I don't like a lot of things.
Cigarette smoke
Smell of coffee
Drunk people
Street harassment
Violent movies with too much gore

All this violence in the world
We seem to be advancing somewhere
But where are we going?
Where are we going?
Where am I going?

What was I even writing about.
ahh this foolish brain
The mind works day and night
24 hours a day
7 days a week
365 days a year
not a second it misses
Not an dull moment it has
