Put On The Brakes! Poem by Linda Ori

Put On The Brakes!

Rating: 5.0


My thoughts are a spinnin'
There's smoke in the air -
Got so much confusion
It's curlin' my hair!

I know what I know but........
Sometimes I must wonder -
My mind likes to trick me
And pull me asunder;

Although I have wisdom
Sometimes it gets lost -
My gray matter's shrinking,
My wires get crossed!

I know when the time comes
To put on the brakes -
Slow down, take it easy
Make no more mistakes;

Make certain my circuits
Are fully aligned -
Put pen to the paper
And empty my mind;

OK, now that's better
I'm back to myself -
Just dust off my cover
Put me back on my shelf.
