Synapse
Some lions, some tigers go to frightening lengths
The random firing of synapses
Scare themselves and each other half to death
The random misfiring of synapses
Soar off at unheard-of angles, up and
The repetitive misfiring of synapses
Into and through absurd constellations
The forced unfiring of synapses
And wiry blue and red veins of Sun and Earth
The obedience of synapses
Muscles trickling under the wet and damp and slow
The absence of synapses
As the orbit is made steadily around
The unforced unfiring of unsynapses
Masses of alien axons and dendrites
The unforced refiring of preexisting synapses
And uncomprehensive, impregnable grey
The perfect refiring of predestinate manic synapses
And lithium, and serotonin reuptake inhibited
The random firing of synapses
If one can say so, stabily is inhaled
The random firing of synapses
