Brain Dance

BRAIN DANCE

Left hemisphere
Feels so dear
When I want to sort things out
But the right of the gray
Likes to play
And sometimes wants to pout

The left side guy
Gives a sigh
Every time the right gets spatial
Right asks why
Do we work with pi
And can’t we be interracial

I wish for each side
To go on a ride
And see how the other half lives
A mingling of nerve
They both deserve
To see what their talent gives

Our problems require
That we sometimes fire
The usual way of solutions
For the future clone
Or warming zone
And all of our many pollutions

Let brains go dancing
The ideas prancing
To a better way of thought
Two working together
Can grab the tether
To guide the unfolding plot

That plot of being
That deepens our seeing
New twists and turns at the bend
Spread your bright colors
And watch for others
Who have a similar trend

We have two heads
And under our dreads
I'll take this brain and file it
One says yes
One says no
Is one on autopilot?
