A Nervous System

Elias H.F.

When the brain named the nervous system, mine seemed to take it literally

 

So here I am again

 

Wondering

Contemplating

Ruminating

 

But no matter how I internalize

 

I never seem to realize

 

Until my fingernails completely dematerialize

    Clever play on words here. I too am nervous at times and always for a reason. I ruminate and seldom does any good. A great read

  • Tony36

    Great write

  • Cheeky Missy

    ...Which is the reason I shut it down, when I'm able, that is, since it's very present when least desired.
    Lovely and evocative.

  • Mutley Ravishes

    This intellect
    Can`t get
    Me out of this self-created prison
    It has its limitations

    Great write, and funny too!

  • Doggerel Dave

    Economy of word play in no way diminishes the meanings of this little piece. Ingenious.
