“Neurons that fire together wire together”
-Hippocrates

“Some day the path becomes a roller coaster
and you traverse the same, stuck to the path
no matter what strategies you’ve learned, what items
you brought this time.”

today i talked myself down again im getting better
at piloting this thing i can press the right
switches in the right order can even perform basic
maintenance resolder the odd synapse fire the right
chemicals to reboot the connection even remember
to do some of it sometimes ¹²³

¹ every day is a roguelike if you think about it
you wake up a little wiser to the game’s bullshit
+ past playthrus will allow some of that wisdom² to come thru
but not all of it and certainly not all at once

² i would like to know where wisdom is held
in the body because it is surely
not held in the brain and if indeed not
held in the brain then nor the head³ and
nor is it held in the neck and nor is it held
in the shoulders perhaps the appendix
or the jejunum or the left little toe

³ all i want to know is
when id bash my head
on the stairs til i saw stars
as a kid was i sending
some doom counter ticking
down some unhallowed howling
track
