Neurologically Normal

NEUROLOGICALLY NORMAL

Saltatory_Conduction (1)

Swimming

in separate body oceans

a variety of evolutions take place.

In the dark, with secret motions,

the neurons bunch in weird convolutions.

brain

Held gently afloat in nutrient brine,

their dendrites mysteriously enlaced,

they interact in ways hard to define,

within the skulls in which they are encased.

Brain-Scan-2-300x300

So they don’t become depressed or manic,

a mostly neutral pH they’ll maintain,

otherwise they might stroke-out or panic

and, by this measure,

we might call them sane,

yet, simply gauged by electrical spike,

we find few two likely to think alike.

James Ph. Kotsybar's haiku achieved Martian orbit on September 22, 2014, becoming the first literature to another world, aboard NASA's MAVEN spacecraft. His poem, "Martian Connoisseur" has been circling the Red Planet for over 1,000 Earth days, however, Guinness Book of World Records, the Nobel Committee and Pulitzer Prize Directors have yet to weigh in on this record accomplishment. More information on MAVEN is available from https://mars.nasa.gov/maven/
