I sometimes wonder at what I’d be
With an education
But is that the right thing to wonder?
Maybe my brain isn’t as good
I mean, imagine the brain that comprehends neuroscience
So what am I for?
If my mind is comparatively a child’s
Or an ape’s
What role does the world wish…
For normal?
Distant cry in the street
It isn’t clear, but she hears
“Get a bank, you freedom loving hippie!”
Looking astounded, “like, a, huh?”
She ponders the message
Beneath the lights of Times Square
Most people here just do chores
Whattye do there? soft hands
“I ponder reality from limbo”
Sounds stupid
“Yeah, I never was that bright”
