The Case of Neurons

A neuron rakes his pen
across the page passionately
so the paper tears and
what remains
is only of slight semblance to a symbol
the same way a hissing escape
of air cannot cross the synapse.

When they are aligned
end to end
it is chemistry:
"Wow, that is so interesting"
"Yes, I'm sure"
and god,
God,
isn't it a miracle?
