---

the eccentricities among we, the poetic,
and among we, the humans,
make us all the more interesting.

if you and I met and had drinks
and discussed
the factors of binomial equations, or
how the stars alight the night,
astride the bounding,
fahthomless energy of the universe;

or how neurons of the brain interact
with the synapses,
in surges of thought and fluidity --
how prone we are, to;
subtlest influx of zeal --
we feel;
from those with whom we click;

faintest flick;

of wrist -- would give rise
to mountainous droves of
inspirational insight --

and in flight,
we'd find ourselves;

amidst junctures that bind minds of two as one;
as we follow spinning bullets down the barrel of a gun.
