Perhaps ideas too often repeated in our brains
act like dripping water on grey matter
and carve deep channels in our human minds.
Perhaps the showers of thoughts that constantly bespatter
consciousness and even dreams are rains
that always then flow into the same blind
gullies to fill the dark wells of flatter
landscapes where political obsession drains
and religious extremisms stagnate.
But why do infatuations only evaporate ?
