I think I'll go and buy a drone
and fly it up inside my head
to spy on furtive thoughts unknown -
those genies who are keen to clone
the dead.
I'm sure I'll find all kinds of things
I'd otherwise not know about:
lost bookmarks, pets, and wedding rings,
a pole from childhood from which swings
some rotting trout.
I'll spy the plans that went astray
and all those former selves I faked,
the gods to whom I used to pray
that left my mind in disarray,
the fears in which I quaked.
I'll fly by my amygdala -
with stealth so not to cause alarm -
then scan my cortex for enigma
and for bruises born of stigma
or concern for others' harm.
A drone to fly inside my brain.
I wouldn't say it's too absurd.
I'll vlog it on the YouTube pane.
It might lead to financial gain.
Mark Cuban's said he'll offer me a third!
