Master Organ

Infinite mind,
Intelligible cortex,
Neural networking,
All parts of the brain 
Meshed into the whole,
Interconnected,
Complex,
Yet simple system,

Encased in a bony skull,
Protected and covered 
by three membranes,
Outside  in
The wrapping of a heavy plastic sheet,
Cob-webbing amidst the wrinkles and folds,
Tender molding in the crevices,
…Cushioned
Gelatinous mind.

Internal landscape,
Delicate nerve tissue,
Nurtured by vessels,
Flowing from the heart,
Circulating into the subconscious.

A good portion is hollowed out.
Fluid circulates,
Reservoirs of plenty,
Cerebro-spinal current,
Pulsing at it’s own rhythm,
Flowing down the vertebral falls,

Wrinkles & crevices,
Cerebrum,
Distinguished into hemispheres,
In a dichotomized world,
Corpus Callosum
Bridges the differences.

The right side of the machine -
Neurologically connects
to the left side of the body.
- Left to right,
Impulses neurotransmit,
Leaping the gaps.

Lobes fenced off,
Accomplishing distinct functions,
Frontal, Temporal, Parietal, Occipital, 
(for more info, see Appendix E in the book),
Working together to get it all done.

In today’s rush,
Cerebellum triggers movement,
Stem rooted into the chord of the spine.
Bundles of nerves,
Connecting,
Wiring together all our different parts,
Conducting the symphony of ourselves,

Intellectual, Emotional, Functional,
Physical, Psychological, Social,

Sensory, Intuitive,
Holistic, Multimodal,

Survival,
Evolution,

It’s all in our head.
