Surrounded,
strapped,
so closely supervised.
Executive functions taking charge
of much greater things
beyond earthly matters.
Brain filled with neurons.
Axons, dendrites, and synapses
on the dendritic tree
connecting and falling apart.
All combinations are in play,
similar to a computer game.
We can try it again
the next day,
while the sun is still out
or after dark.
The brain works behind the scenes,
regardless of light being good or bad.
It functions every day,
even without a perfect controlling machine
imposing itself.
Tasks completed smoothly at dawn
before another collapse.
I wish I hadn't repeated this,
but it is the fate of my brain.

Spectacular stream of consciousness!!! ❤️❤️💕
Your brain may keep on working, Maggie, but mine seems to be either idling at best or completely stalled.
💙 Sometimes it's like the brain is stuck on repeat
