The Great Motherboard

How the human brain Like a mammoth mother board Assimilates and stores up impressions Some sad, some joyful Some daunting, some frightful Some difficult to decipher and decode Heap on heap, they pile. Through recollections, vague or vivid, Dreams, words and thoughts, One time or other, they reel back and forth As on a computer screen Some deleted forever, some etched deep Some irrecoverably lost Some able to be retrieved Some mouldy, sending out a stale smell Some spreading a fresh aroma Delectable to the senses Some filling us with a zest to live Some making our eyes swell But without them How vacuous human life How hollow….how banal!
