my corpus callosum
has a big lesion
that silences signal.
boosting noise
it's natural to feel
outraged and enraged
psychotic with paranoia.
so, as a precaution
against an overdose
of irritation
i'm swallowing medication
and it seems to help
stabilize the situation
The corpus callosum is a bundle of neural fibers which connects the left and right cerebral hemispheres of the brain and facilitates interhemispheric communication. It is anatomically flawed; signals become mostly noise.
The result? Man, by nature, is mad.
Our dysfunctional corpus callosum is our 'original sin'; its repair, the only salvation I see for Man's longer term survival.
