Defrag your computer weekly
What about defragging your brain?
Yes, I know there are files
that are definitely fragmented.
That is why I go into the kitchen
wondering why I went there.
That is why one minute I am ordinating tax deductions
and the next minute I am composing poetry.
The next minute I am de-staining an apron
and the next minute I am painting a table some God-awful babyshit yellow.
Why did I decide to paint a mural on the backyard fence?
Why did I volunteer to lead an abused teenager group?
Why did I offer to bake a cake for my neighbor?
What made me think I could grow orchids?
Yes, I need to schedule my defragging maintenance
on my brain that seems to be riddled with holes like
those that in are the moldy swiss cheese hiding in a
piece of foil in my refrigerator--what kind of wine
goes best with that--I wonder?
