“Neurosonnet 2001 Neurons giveth, neurons taketh away. By neurons we forge self, with neurons we fade away. Within neurons cosmos comes to life, within neurons worlds come to end. Neurons are building blocks of walls, as well as the instrument of bridges. There is not one but two cosmos, one made by nature, another by neurons. We are the makers of observable reality, shaped by hopes and biases of our own. Neurons are the birthplace of God, Neurons produce all ghosts and goblins. Life is a concoction of neurochemistry, Boon and bane are both our own making.”
