A mind can be:
A- A weathered leather bag filled with question marks.
It will likely wake up on a dinghy surrounded
By a blue blur and triangles swimming in circles.
B- A voice that comes from above The Disc and says:
"I don't like gifts and I hate surprises. The current replaces the oars."
("If current there is—and that remains to be determined,"
It will later add.)
C- Both A and B, if statistically speaking,
A chance remains it will reach shore.
One may then ask: "Why are they nowhere in view?
And what the hell would they be doing here anyway?"
D- Hot and cold, damp and airless. It is sometimes
A chamber, a hospital room, a tomb, a final resting place,
Or better yet a prison, each bar carefully
(No—Lovingly!) manufactured by its occupant,
Who happens to have nothing to think about,
It seems, but for equations that cannot be solved.)
E- Occupied by odd memories that surface on a regular basis.
Most surely it will take the shape of
A wooden box. Below the image of a hand carved heart, it once read
(And may still read—but do we know whatever happens to objects
We no longer see?):
