The most real things in my life
aren't real
more of a
Shangri-La carved
into my neural pathways
valleys of hope
and happiness
that, in dark times,
flood with action potential
leaving my white matter
dripping in dopamine
awash in oxytocin
Sometimes leaving me smiling
sometimes overwhelmed
but what is life
if not experience
and what is experience
but neural coding

we as humans

Have a special gift. We have the ability to take these chemical reactions in our minds and bodies and through language turn them into romance and magic and eternity. My words can pass to you, and to the future, the romance of life and love. The neural coding that is our experience can be given as gifts, through language (arguably only another form of data) to one another, without touching, without even physical presence. This is perhaps the true beauty of humanity. To record and share our magical, personal experiences with others. A marvelous, spiritual miracle of reality.

I know you are likely right Ashesh

But I refuse to acknowledge that that is it. The first flirt, the eye contact, the first touches and kisses, the difference between making love and having sex. I know, I know - chemicals, brain waves, "neural pathways" (dear, smart, Lesse...), I'm gonna stick with romance, thank you.
