Fizzled Brain

Have you ever sat in your car at a stop light

and it suddenly starts idling high and you think

Uh Oh

You look around slightly confused 

turn off the radio

poke at random buttons and knobs

and cautiously glance through the window

for any tell tale wisps of smoke coming from the hood

(and one hand on the door ready to run and hide in the bushes)

That kind of happened to me the other day

Except it wasn't my car

It was my brain

A little side effect from my surgical adventure

I have to be careful with too much stimulation

Too much talking, noise, music, visual, thoughts

And that day I was playing music, singing, sorting and

thinking

I didn't even know I was thinking until there were way too many thoughts

And then I started pacing

I was idling high and expecting wisps of smoke 

So I ran

Into the nearest windowless bathroom and sat on the edge of the tub in the dark

Apparently that's all I needed

To remove myself from all the stimulation

My brain shut up quickly as it curiously wondered

'Hey! What happened?!'

While it was scary for a moment

I find it quite amusing now

I've become a wimp!

I was like a kid on way too much sugar

LOL!

That's ok, it's all a part of a healing brain

I just have to remember to take it slow
