in a complicated
world, the brain learns
to process data
through shortcuts –
the three sustained
horns from a passing
truck summon
Mathis der Maler,
the lingering cologne
in the stairwell, two
lifetimes ago,
the lady in the park
with pigeons and
other stereotypes –
neurons will fire
in synchrony
to fill in the
superstitions
and fears
.
