Literature
Concussed
Concussions feel like a biologic metaphor for mental illness
It literally boils down to a bruised brain,
How is that not a poetic description of mental illness?
And it comes with some damn similar side effects
I managed to bruise my brain at a roadside attraction
A place called South of the Border,
Smack dab between North and South Carolina
Yeah, yeah it's a clever play on words.
I can tell you right where I was when all of this started
I was hoisting myself onto the back of a jackalope
No this is still not a metaphor
It was a concrete animal meant for children.
And that is where the trouble began,
You see, I am not in fact a child.
