Here is what I love about the brain:
How it remembers.
How it sews what soft it can
into a blanket for the nights
when I am cold with trouble.
~ Sean Patrick Mulroy, from “The Offering” in Tap Lit Mag (Fall/Winter 2016)

I’ll tell you what I love about the brain David…
How it forgets. Blank.
So I can sleep.
Yes, it has been a day and a half.
