A CURIOUS THING by CAROLINE M. LORD

First Line: MY MIND, IT SEEMS, IS ONLY
Last Line: OF GRASS AND SEPAL FOLD.
Subject(s): REASON; INTELLECT; RATIONALISM; BRAIN; MIND; INTELLECTUALS;

My mind, it seems, is only
A sequence of events,
Or wave of probability
With characteristic bents.

I'm sure I @3feel@1 atomic
With moleculish wings
To wander with at random
And elude all grasping things.

I frequently ascend
Upon a milkweed down,
Or aerate my mental state
By resting on your frown.

Sometimes my mind is anchored
With an immortal hold
Upon the warm green wonder
Of grass and sepal fold.
