Poems and Prose by Tim Fox

  • Mind and Me

    See feet as feathers
    Feet are feathers
    See feet as stones
    Feet are stones

    Mind is might
    Mind is maybe
    Mind is power
    Mind is not

    The same as brain–
    Brain houses mind,
    And mind is more
    If you let it.

    Brain is matter–
    Axons, dendrites,
    Sodium-potassium pump
    Create reality

    But mind is electric
    Mind is soul
    Mind is numinous
    Mind persists

    When we go,
    Flashing fog overhead–
    All we knew
    And all we were

    Just waiting
    For another conduit
    Another current
    To ride upon

    See feet as feathers
    Feet are feathers
    See feet as stones
    Feet are stones
