A Sketchy Process.....Freeing up the spirit and mind
Its not far.....
The distance between my cranium
Right hemisphere
Two right forefingers plus solitary thumb
(Im guessing three feet)
Barring two inces
Maybe
Merely one
As I grasp tightly the lead pencil
6b to be precise
Within the mundane monotony of my charcoal mind
Why on earth
Is between that gap
Disconnection so unkind
My right side so free fall
Imaginative
Shows me something quirky
Something delightfully fun
But my left mind
Full of boring
Full of reason.....says
'Nay.... it cannot be done! '
The right retorts
'Don't be a stickler, ride waves of sheer imagination
Go whimsical one, fly free'
Do try and I do try
No idea why this battle persists in me
Maybe i should just....
Get drunk as a skunk
And let my free mind lead the way
Hopefully within the bubbles of wine illusions
For once my right hand will do as my right mind
Dictates....
