brain


by so so johnson



my brain is a road
i walk down every night

past the old house
the old empty house

they say it is empty
but is it?

i should go up
and knock on the door

but i never do
the windows are dark

so it must be empty
but you never know

someone might answer
if i only knock

maybe george washington lives there
or al capone

or charles lindbergh or joan of arc
or my grandmother

you get the idea
but somehow i never do

as i walk on
night after night

in my brain
across the long moon
