The wrinkles on my shirt are gyri
the depression are the sulci

With batter I can make them
lie at an angle and then meld

If each side of our brain had symmetrical functions, then one side injury would make the other side emotional? Internal phantom limb or would it go crazy with the unhealthy signals?

Each hemisphere moves the opposite side of the body. Why should it be so?

Adult by choice

The sea animal that can stay juvenile
(ask the lady at the phoenix zoo)
Is it scared of growing up
what if it could become an adult
and then reverse molt like a millipede
if it doesnt like

Tool use




The first I heard of it
by an animal is a story
in which a thirsty crow
makes the water level
in a pot rise by
dropping gravel into it.

One optimistic crow
that will always
find the half filled
glass full

As I watch a congo
chimpanzee pound a bee hive
I wonder how it can hold the
stick in its sole
wrapping around it like that
leg of its were a third hand
free to do the holding while
its arms support its weight
on the tree

like our hands free to hold
the cellphone while
still walking
