When in fact I love them
As a lab rat loves his pellets,
As a cracker-jack addict
Loves his crack-
Er-jack. Rules
Are to the prefrontal
Cerebrum what heart-
Beats are to the brain-
Stem, sex to the cerebellum,
What such dumb poetic
Conceits and analogies
Are to the poetastic,
Humanistic, neuro-
Anatomically, log-
Istically ill-informed.
I love rules because
They keep me
Occupied with watching
Out for them while
I study them, the way
The mad field primat-
Ologist watches out
For violent dominance
Displays by male
Chimpanzees behind her
Back while she counts cops
Continuing in front of her.
