My Brain

My brain is my brother crying.
The rain pouring down the window
as I see the streetlights go
from green to yellow to red.
My brain is cars speeding by
as I hear the birds tweaking
while I walk to school.
My brain is the color
of hot Cheetos,
my lips touching against
my boyfriend’s.
“My brain is the color
of hot Cheetos”
is perhaps the most original metaphor I've heard all year!
cool, cool
nice job!!
