Poetry | My Calloused Brain

My Calloused Brain   (c) 2017 Vernon Miles Kerr Others meditate And claim inspiration: “Relax; focus on your breathing, Wait for enlightenment.” I’ve waited… And waited… But nothing— Except embarrassment For failing at their game.   I view the magic in Nature, Knowing that I should feel awe, Be inspired, Well I am, Intellectually.
