DOODLER I am a doodler The diagnosis is clear Crack open my heart you'll find a doodle in there Whether pencil or pen my doodles flow out like cool water running in a fire hydrant spout When I start to doodle I doodle a lot The best places to doodle are places to not On the corners of desks I impale my depictions of dragon fights with ghosts of disastrous infliction On the soles of my shoes I draft a landscape of blueberry tacos in pink permanent ink The spine of my textbook with its cardboard frame outlines skyscrapers and towers I engrave The stalls of the bathroom have a dark glossy sheen and serve as the backdrop to the heavens I weave My homework assignments have a big empty space On the place it says Name I etch a puke face When a poster is posted an opportunity knocks to doodle my dreams of lasagna noodle socks On the inside of my locker I sketch out a world of flying blue whales and clouds made of pearls The palm of my hand has a wonderful shape to scribble a scene of flying superhero grapes After the teacher is gone I go use the board and score a new tale of pigs wielding swords Some days they lock up all my utensils and tools but that doesn't stop me from doing my doodles I close my eyes tight and the white canvas flies in I doodle in my thoughts until I'm free once again 8

BRAIN MOUTH AND HEART It's me I'm the BRAIN I've got it all figured out Don't worry I've got this No need to have doubt My calculations are fair my aim is precise no answers will vary everything will suffice My prefrontal cortex has checked in at fine My executive functions are smooth down the line So do what I say Keep the goal in our sights keep the Mouth shut and it will turn out all right 10 It's me I'm the MOUTH I will do what I please No need for instructions I do with such ease As soon as we think it I will just spit it out It's better this way no analyzing or doubt I would rather be open than shut like a clam So give me control and Brain you can scram
It's me I'm the HEART I think I started this mess I've got faith in us all but my soul must confess My wishes wants and woes are all in a tangle Brain cannot solve them its not about angles And Mouth you're too much Please just SLOW DOWN Let us all breathe before we all drown Brain the approach is about time and space Decisions are messy but WE govern the pace We'll make our mistakes and that includes me but our path to success is a balance of us three So take a five minute break we'll come back as a team We've got forever to practice and I'll start us off with a dream 11
