#FrancescaBeard reads her own #poem 'Power of the Other'

'This mind snarls and crawls.
Like traffic, like a pregnant cat.

I am in love with the scientists.
They use simple sentence structures.

The sun is a star.
Fear is an instinct.
The heart is an organ.

Subject.
Verb.
Object.
Each word is a molecule,
The link in a chain,
A single step upon a winding mountain path.
. . . . . .
