Aha: a Poetic Noetic Instantiation In Three Acts
rushing inference, imminent insight
suddenly its clear, a gut feeling
swooning, reeling,
cross-connected hemi-sphere
syncopated, reverberated, totally aware
open bi-ways, ahh blue-sky days, making up my mind
synapses shiver, axons quiver, dendrites deliver
'lectrik-neurons fire suddenly in time
aha! aha! oh gawd I see, I ran around 'n cried
a fool I've been, all along its there, right in front of me
with a grin 'n a nod 'n twinkly-looking 'round
raised my arms 'n slapped my thighs
'n made a ruckus sound --
donned my hat 'n set it skewed
upon my big bright head
set off to town in an uplifted mood
while whistling a sweet sound
forgot what I had found
#
there's a hole in my head
where the wounds of reason seep
all words are dead inside my head
what's left is dark 'n deep
@
I'll always live
and always die
on the event horizon
of my mind's eye
where the flash
of neuronal fires
flower into
sudden epiphany --
