Seedling by Heath Brougher

So I’ve heard that you’ve

been unplugging various wires

integral to the function

of your brain

in the realm of Mainstream Thought.

 

Was I supposed to punish you for this?

 

I applaud you for it.

 

Just remember you’re still very young

and when you unplug

at such an early age

your “Being Misunderstood Ratio” goes up

quick as vertiginous spontaneous skyscrapers.

 

Just keep waiting for the inevitable

garden of Intellect to bloom

and keep sucking up the Truths

that you deem marrow-worthy.
