we are neurons

a neuron listens and speaks

it makes a statement of existence

in a network.

they only speak,

when they

have something

to say,

and they have

something to say

when they see

enough people speaking.

neurons build trust.

over time the ones that

are always talking

when you're talking

become trustworthy

and when you don't see

what you're trying to see

you can always turn

to your friend.

yet because of variance,

and because every day is new,

who we trust most

becomes more accurate.

yet we can only respond to

who we see

and those who can respond

must see us.

and that makes this behavior

limited.

and once we go beyond

what we can control

our behavior

becomes abstracted.

a neuron listens and speaks,

making a statement of existence

in a network.

the network sits

suspended in

three dimensional

tissue space.

communications

become curves.

thought is a knife that carves

every stroke sculpting

a world beneath

and that world can be seen.

it is the whole,

and it is seen.

because some of us

are in groups that see

less of more.

and when we speak,

our declaration of existence

indicates tides.

in observance

of what one can see

up here, after all,

we act while

expecting and

predicting

rewards.

in the form of wanting,

we connect streams,

and water pools.

and these pools

guide movement

because muscles

are slow, like pooling.

we are neurons that 

listen and speak,

making a statement

of our existence

in our world.
