At 526 years the fetus is developing thalamic connections
Vulnerable
Neutrons fluoresce
Limbic system a web spinning into
Memory
Emotion
Transgender home for our research
Water flower shifts
Cream
Lavender
One day and the next
They embrace the diversity of experience of
Experiment
Branches snapped
With science-based fingertips
A focus
A y-shaped brain connection
This human body is evidence-based
Here in the furniture fort of our entitlement
Chemistry bathing in new attachments
We sing the forbidden words into the
Upholstery
Little of the vibration will return
Your self
An idea banned before the seed swells
Before the shell cracks
