腦海

Alexis Lee

the mind / the brain as a sea / i wonder how
many have drowned / in the oceans of their
own heads / only five percent of the ocean has been explored / if i set sail would i
capsize? / blue faces and shipwreck / will i strike gold / between the waves of
my consciousness / fear of the figments of my barrier reefs / ninety five percent is still
speculation and uncertainty / you can’t capsize if you go in head first

dive in; call it self discovery

Translations:
腦海:the mind
腦:brain
海:sea

Alexis Lee (she/her) is a pseudonym for a writer from Hong Kong. She usually takes ugly emotions and tries to turn them into beautiful things, but when that’s not possible (and it often isn’t), she resorts to being unusually good at Tetris and being less good at Twitter at @lessalexis.
