can one have growing pains
in one’s own brain?

the body eventually stops–
no more taller,
(maybe a bit wider,)
eventually the opposite:
shortening,
giving in to gravity,
what we do daily
affecting us
forever

but our minds
constantly
shift/
change/
adapt/
it’s not as easy
to pick things up,
but it is still possible.

so as we grow
into this new version
of our brain,
is that where headaches come from?
is that why i need more sleep than usual?

i wish i had
something
akin
to a wall measurement
to see the invisible
expanding…
