Origin
Would’ve sworn we were born
on some more foreign planet.
And all the info we should know
must have been lost in transit.
And we could find all of our kind,
but here on Earth we’re stranded.
So let’s climb ladders up to Saturn,
and leave this land abandoned.
The Big Picture
Flashbacks of a memory
recurred to me in bed last night.
That’s when it occurred to me
that all I see are bits and bites.
Fragments of the things I’ve seen
like photos cut up with a knife.
And every piece a different scene,
these puzzle pieces of my life.
The Fish
The fish is never bothered
by the way the water flows.
He simply carries onward,
going where it goes.
So if you ever find yourself
in an undertow,
relax and let it take you
to a lake you didn’t know.
Brain Crumbs: Stumbling through time with a crumbling mind by Sasha Dylus is a collection that touches upon many subject areas. For instance, I believe "The fish" was about going with the flow and being open to new experiences.
"Well aged" spoke the truth: Time seems to move slowly, but then again, it moves swiftly too. In a blink of an eye, you've gone from babe to an older adult to not existing.
"POV" was quite fascinating. I pondered whose mind I would like to swap with and why. A scientist? A politician? A family member? Hmm, maybe even my cat? Yeah, I think the cat brain swap would prove quite interesting. I often wondered what the heck my furbaby was thinking.
"Lovebird" went from creepy to hilarious. Let me explain. First, the poet describes gluing a person's image onto their eyeball. Okay, I know they didn't mean literally: at least, I hope they didn't. In the end, the writer made me smile when they stated the person they are obsessed with only shows them the middle finger. Yes, I think they were obsessed due to the eyeball line.
"Small problems" used a rock in a shoe to symbolize not sweating the small stuff. Okay, I don't know about you, but a pebble in a shoe is aggravating. That said, I agree you should not sweat the small things. Focus on the bigger picture!
There were many other poems I liked very much in Brain Crumbs: Stumbling through time with a crumbling mind by Sasha Dylus. Why? To be honest, I didn't have to think very hard to interpret their meaning. These poems were simple, straightforward, but well written. Minor change: I wish pictures, symbols, or something else were on each page to draw the eye.
Brilliant cover! It caught my attention right away!
