She

was hired by the body.

She

unfortunately got a bit zesty about it.

Hence, the body beat her,

mostly killed her.

The work is, however,

in progress.

God's own folks,

put a

good, guaranteed brain onto me;

storing mine safely away.

Then, once, somewhere,

I did find mine, my brain.

I fixed it back to me.

Now I get lost in these brains of mine,

Though I do manage to peek out and get some

glimpses of me

sitting low in some corners of my brain.

I sleep silently,

never knowing

when

my mind will lurk out of the dark and finish me.

Time passes by,

mocking,

I stand strong-kneed, locked-legged.

She made

a river flow

into a desert.

People said

"No river has come this way.

How would a river come to the desert?"

She built a dam

over that river.

People said, "No,

How would a dam be built in this desert?"

The dam burst; a flood.

They asked, "How could a flood overtake our desert?"

"There are no floods in this desert."

The flood drowned them all.

Many voices were heard:

"How could such things take place in our desert?"

"Such things do not take place in our desert."
