Why I Write, Part x+219: It's A Helluva Drug (Remixed Drink)

My mind moves,
Bumping gray-matter grooves.
It doesn't ponder; It doesn't prance.
It's in the club, but it doesn't dance.

Sometimes, I slip into something more comfortable,
Intellectually speaking.

Through darkness, across my cavernous cranial cavity,
My mind's eye comes to rest on a ravishing, raven-haired idea,
and I try to strike up a conversation with her, to get to know,
To lay groundwork, to hear and to hold and to hope,

and it turns out she doesn't look good that up-close.
