Brain Runs A Budget For You. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Brain Runs A Budget For You.



In every moment
your brain is running
a sort of budget
for your body.

It is budgeting water,
salt, glucose and
other resources
so that your body has
what it needs
at the right time to keep
you alive and well.

This budgeting process
also produces your most basic
feelings, like feeling pleasant
or unpleasant, feeling
comfortable or distressed,
feeling calm or activated.
