THERE’S AN ECHO IN HERE.
“There’s an echo in here”,
said the heart to the brain.
“Where there ought to be logic
there’s nothing. Explain”.
“There’s good reason for that”,
said the brain to the heart.
“We’re getting older, you see,
and we’re drifting apart.”
“Nonsense,” said the heart.
“We’re all part of one whole.
There’s you and there’s me
and what some call the soul!”
“Agreed,” said the brain,
“but as time moves along
the connections between us
are not quite so strong.
The soul wanders off
in search of new grails.
Your arteries harden.
My memory bank fails.
It is sad, my old friend,
but you can’t press ‘restart’.
We’re here, then we’re gone.”
said the brain to the heart.
“There’s an echo in here.”
said the heart to the brain.
“Was I looking for something?
Just remind me again.”
