A Physicist Enamored by the Brain

Every shock
Every surge
Every shoot
Is a dance
A light show in darkness
And I want to watch
I want to learn
Not mimic your movements
Just understand them
Please let me understand them
How do you transition?
When do you switch partners?
When do you switch lanes?
And the rhythm
It escapes me
Escapes all of us
Try as we have, we have never understood
Some say you follow Ohm’s law.
But that is as much a full answer as Newton’s was
A fourth of all movement covered?
If only ohm’s covered so much
Then I could follow
Then I could learn
Don’t worry
I know you’re not selfish
This dance is for us
To provide us function
So just keep on dancing
Keep on dancing for us
And we will use science
That is its beauty.
That is its point:
A forever expanding bridge
Sure Newton’s laws left gaps,
But just as they’re being filled
Ohm’s will be as well
And science will allow us to learn
Allow us to follow this dance
And understand your beautiful rhythm
