I rifle through my brain

as I would a fruit bowl --


sifting through lobes of dull cantaloupe

and honeydew meanderings


for thought raspberries

to masticate and ponder.


Sure, I like my honeydew thoughts

and basic motor-functions


but what I really want is a rare,

specific tang


of electrical firings

and neuro-transmitter juices --


I am searching for a fresh moment

to pluck and savor.
