    Failing

    It is a good and a smart brain
    that I have.
    I forget that sometimes.
    Long ago, so long ago
    it did math – calculus even
    and it wrote poetry
    and it excelled in physics.
    It pontificated on literature.

    I must not waste it
    by drinking and
    watching television.
    It can understand budgets
    and marketing strategy
    and user experience.

    It is a good brain,
    that I have neglected for
    so long, it forgets how to
    think and even how to talk
    correctly.

    Poor brain, I must not waste it
    forget about it
    neglect it.

    It washes away
    like a stone
    on the edge of the sea,
    becoming smooth
    and smoother every day.
