Day 391: brain control

When I can't write, I read
When I can't speak, I Emily Dickinson. 

The Brain - is wider than the Sky -
For - put them side by side -
The one the other will contain
With ease - and You - beside - 
 
The Brain is deeper than the sea -
For - hold them - Blue to Blue -
The one the other will absorb -
As sponges - Buckets - do 
 
The Brain is just the weight of God -
For - Heft them - Pound for Pound -
And they will differ - if they do -
As syllable from Sound -
 
Emily Dickinson

"make[in']cense of it all."
