my brain waves are SpIkEy

when they should be

rollllling like the waves

of a calm sea

what if the neurofeedback

electrodes

blow my brain up

i know that won't happen

but it's a thought

perhaps a thought placed there

by the evil that was my life

"my handlers"

so they say on TV

if you try to heal your brain,

it will blow up

and so a 5-year-old believes

brain map completed today

if it were a picture

i imagine it like pieces glued together

or scraps scotch taped

in every possible direction

to ensure it holds

little faces under the tape

screaming that they are trapped

emoticons before there were emoticons

no smiley faces in my brain

just :-O and %-O and OOOOOO

will the neurofeedback

give me smiley faces

and rescue the trapped emoticons

beneath the scotch tape?

will my brain blow up

before that happens?
