Musical Waves of Brain Chemistry

By Rick McVicar

Tap tap, I want to dance to the sound of neurons in my head

Pulsating from snippets skipping across my synapses,

As if they were oval stones bouncing over the current

Of a gently flowing stream.

Neuro-transmitters send smooth vibrations across the waters

Headed towards rushing rapids.

Rocks and boulders are up ahead,

White water awaits!

Will those pulsating snippets of sound quiet my mind

So I can navigate the river?

Here comes the rain to stir up the waters.

Let me hum a melody that dams up the rushing waves 

To create a reservoir that is tranquil         

So I can catch some rainbow trout.
