CONTENT WARNING:
Dendrites stretching through void,
dark axons reaching out from soma to soma.
Each intersection a galaxy,
bright neurons in a network of space.
The music of radiation:
the acetylcholine passing from cell to cell.
The lugubriously expanding universe:
a majestic monstrous fetus gestating.
When the universe awakes and synapses fire,
will we awaken, too?
Or will we continue, atoms of organelles of a neuron,
unaware of the body?
This magnificent leviathan, oblivious to the multitudes it contains:
the glory of its cells.
