Highminded
Larry Piltz

His pink gray wetbrain
calisthenics mind
rides bareback
sitting edgewise
on a thin rolling steel
film reel can wheel
the size of an average
American sand dollar
traveling strictly uptight
on the highest tripwire
live way up and over
the center ring deep end
rolling back and forth
on a one-way track
the voluntary coordinated
trained brain act
leaning way too far
to one side
then way uh oh
to the other
brainstem flapping
like a raccoon tail
happily along
the evolutionary trail
all content aboard
the motivating wheel
the size of an
American sand dollar
