Quiescence Pervades Medulla Oblongata

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 hashtagged

on permanent leave on par

with imagining dragons easy to believe.
