Spontaneous head-crap

standing on a house of cards
in the mercy seat again
due to a brain malfunction -
i never get easier

when lightning strikes
the same spot
hundreds of times
you think i'd move

but i will climb
up on my cross
and sacrifice my dignity
in futile mind-heart
mismanagement


(the only thing worthwhile here is the painting by my Uncle Glen Heberling - but not a good photo either.)

I think there is a lot in this poem. I sense a lot of personal angst, but the cause is unclear (which I'm sure you intended). The line the speaks most to me is "futile mind-heart mismanagement."

I like the reflection of you in the picture, seems to add meaning to the poem.
