Inside Your Mind Is The Mine Poem by Lovita Morang

inside your mind is the mine

mind you, dear miner,
magic is in you
start counting, mining
if your fingers fail

that brain
where 10 add 11 zeros
of neurons branching out inside
pause
think over
deeper
so it's possible to count

your brain can know
one hundred trillion things
your and mine
add on
what wonder can we not do

[haute cuisine everyone round the table
one asking for salt
there is already enough salt in the food
doctor says extra pinch of salt is fatal to health I said
tell the doctor to join dandi march
Mahatma will be happy, thats sea of salt, sweet taste of freeing the chains constraints....
not me, pass me the salt]
I barely succeed to make others happy

Bonds alchemical, billions of atoms
burst inside my mind
I suddenly become
A grain of salt
a grain of a single salt
inside your mouth
just feel
the power
of sixteen zeros
forces of ten million billion atoms

and the forces of power
between the atoms
atoms in the salt
salt on the table
salt in the mouth

another bigger universe
in these smallness of being

mindkind shall never misunderstand
if you can understand
if I can understand

mind you
magic is in you

if you have felt it
then the atoms will dance for you

so you are thinking now
start thinking

mind you
magic is in you
