“Spoon Brain” by Anonymous

Spoon Brain

By Anonymous

 

Nobody knows me at all

The nobodies

who sit like vegetables

with creative minds as dull as spoons

 

I look in the mirror and see rich reds, blue, warm yellow of mango

chicken eggs

or orange juice on Saturday morning

 

I don’t know me at all

Maybe I have a spoon brain too

Maybe it’s my turn to

grow, ripen, and bloom.
