 I look at all the bits of my brain,

Scattered like a 5000 piece jigsaw -

Can not even comprehend

How to Humpty Dumpty them...

can not

make sense, si, naught...

bad bit down, drawn

pensieve thread

jangled memories,

confused thoughts,

betrayed trusts

this virtual blood!

"Out, damn Spot! Out..."

Or do I quote the King,

and give homage to that role I played,

transposed in time?

Or, do I let the dog leave the house?

Revision 1 follows: (Split into 2 poems?) Revised 1 July 2022

 I look at all the bits of my brain,

Scattered like a 5000 piece jigsaw -

Can not even comprehend

How to Humpty Dumpty them...

can not

make sense, si, naught...

bad bit down, drawn

pensieve thread

. . . . .

.. ...

.....

"jangled memories,

confused thoughts,

betrayed trusts - "

'betrayed trusts - this

virtual blood!'

"Out, damn Spot! Out..."

'Quote King instead?'

...

I give homage: ( "acting as if - two great writers

switched spots in time - I was King's ghost..." ~ early 90's ~ )

Mad? Kind of like

a rabid dog escaped the house?
