Quiescence Pervades Medulla Oblongata

rew4er2nail

Outward brain stem hummock

analogously, (asper bound

minuscule magnum opus)

figuratively paginated with drowned

atavistic animal instincts

roar back to life upon found
perceived or real threat adrenaline

splashes cerebral hemispheres

triggering body electric

to become alert as a bloodhound

countless millenniums ago

the flight or fight reaction apropos
when savage beasts

threatened tribe with bro

whizzing primitive creatures

some forced tweet crow

wing, thence railing, swooping,

trouncing dough

main housing small cluster of emo
ting primates (gabbling in primal

grunts and groans witnessing ruminants

scurrying to and fro

survival of the fittest danger field

thus by dint of inherent smarts didst grow

outwitting wily coyote, or other lion eyes, hoe

ping automatic saving grace tactics recalled,

when looming predator doth woof

and warp emergency arises,

when debacle fore stalled
for time against getting mauled

whereby each subsequent ruse

out foxing fierce-some, hungry non a mew
zing potential breakfast, lunch,

or dinner as the sorry loo
sir aye sic newton, sans

this non nonsense game of "Life",

which thru countless millenniums strategies grew

layered upon left and right cerebral hemispheres few
till hetty became diminished

as proper contra bands of bipedal hominids drew

upon accumulated storied history

learned from Bubba Zayda's

many times over motley (foolish) crew

squirreling modus operandi

wove (traversing eons)

corpus collosum hair

(more so nerve fiber weave

a microscopic whirled wide web linkedin

left and right fist size gray matter

coated with transparent integument

custom made swiftly tailored sleeve

ah...proving grounds,

when forebears of Homo Sapiens

touch and go tagged on permanent leave

on par with imagining dragons easy to believe.

    'triggering body electric
    to become alert as a bloodhound
    countless millenniums ago
    the flight or fight reaction'
    and yet, that all-important: 'Amygdala'
    is hidden away, in your diagram,
    interesting read, thanks for sharing
