I can’t feel my left brain

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

Did I fall asleep on it?

Maybe I’m like a pain-desensitized leprosy patient who sawed it away through repetitive yet unfeeling motion, injuring it bit by bit without realizing until it fell off completely.

I would complain, but those who would listen are unable to help.

I’d like a nap. No, not “the nap” but a nap when after awakening I have $30,000 in the bank, a pot of coffee warming on the counter and a balcony table set for breakfast. A modest arrangement of fresh cut flowers in its center. Eggs. Juice that tastes not like juice but like fruit. Quiet. Peacefulness on a cool morning. Missing children of the non-Amber Alert. Missing children of the week’s vacation without me. World. Valets. Chef stations. .

The baby is in my lap cranking it up. Perhaps he would enjoy what is left of me as a mid-morning snack.

    Don't worry. The Right Side has all the fun anyway.

      That's a good way of looking at it. Think I lost my right brain earlier in the month, though.
