If a woman who just recovered
from a concussion
can respond to
calculated naivety
smug put-downs
and even an unpaid alternate universe
presidential campaign speech
without swearing
without shouting
without running crying from the room
without even stopping to rest her eyes
because she is hopelessly boggled
then her brain is just fine
and it is they who need
their heads examined.
(They may have a
pre-existing condition.)
