Cold River Valentine

On some level I think
we are all a little terrified
of the possible reality
of some kind of spiritual
existence the way we imagine
invaders from outer space
whose higher faculties enslave us
we are so afraid of losing
the few freedoms we’ve won
over how many centuries now
we’re just starting to think
about the nature of thinking itself
the kind of thinking that goes on
outside the brain itself
for which the brain is but
a thimble-cup a prop
