Shift Over, Let Us Cop a Squat

The self-proclaimed most complex
Object in the universe
Remains a glob of squishy,

Finite storage organ. Watch
How the bright, bilingual brain
Toggles between languages,

Performing while suppressing,
Often accidentally
Substituting the wrong phrase.

Now ask it to keep counting
While reading text on a screen.
It’s a wondrous thing, a brain,

But one only holds so much
Infectious load of the world.
