Today
I read a banal poem
that reveled in the so called "fact"
that each cell in our corporal form
is replaced every seven years.
And from this truth
that reveled in the so called "fact"
that each cell in our corporal form
is replaced every seven years.
And from this truth
the
author finds
a
sense of comfort in the thought
of
one day having body whole
that their former love will never have touched.
that their former love will never have touched.
Shaking
my head, I sighed to myself
and
thought -
It’s truly a shame
that neurons remain a cache of non mitotic cells that represent a generally nonrenewable cell source
It’s truly a shame
that neurons remain a cache of non mitotic cells that represent a generally nonrenewable cell source
and
that science belittles this attempt at irony.
So I know, that as the days pass
and
years build up,
your finger shadows will always touch.
your finger shadows will always touch.
GABA
dark words collide around my sulci
and
dribble through my ventricles.
A
song that methylates my DNA;
a picture that opens a voltage gate;
a cell that fired and wired together
that cannot renew,
that begs to let go.
a picture that opens a voltage gate;
a cell that fired and wired together
