Synapses crackling in the morning

One eye open then the next
I don’t like to use my brain too
quickly
Afraid it might break
I am older and I don’t need
my brain to be on all the time
Just on an as needed basis
seems to be just fine
but generally speaking I can get
along better than most
with one one brain tied behind
my back
there are some days
it is preferable to just coast

but then again being a stranger in a
strange land gives us a clue who we really are.
