Perhaps Whale Neurons: Life-Saving Work

© KJ Hannah Greenberg

Perhaps frail, whale neurons,
Foraged on great white boats,
Full of mad scientists seeking
Spinal, Alzheimer’s, Lou Gehrig’s
And What-His-Name’s remedies,
Get sourced in surgical suites’
Firefighting, life-saving work.

Maybe, multiple sclerosis cures,
Minus Marie Curie’s toxic doings,
Or hasty nasopharyngeal airways’
Executed methods, offer roads against
Snoring hope, horrid huffing diseases.
Such might bring bustle, evening rains,
Miracles, mayhap stay coffin makers.

Feasibly, non-invasive ventilation,
Military acumen, also pathologies,
Miles out from veracity, don’t merely
Tend sick and broken bodies’ never-
Ending ribbons of hospital floors,
Clinical trials (that camera obscura

Of established medicine), implants.
Exactly, doctors’ payloads, first light,
Plus at dusk, formulate possibility’s
Rivers, like balmy vacations, like old
Tinctures, like witch doctors’ charms.
They resist G-d’s timeout, His network
Parameters, Fahrenheit or Celsius,
Fight to limit cosmic permanence.

Our first #RemixReallySystem piece, by Jeremy Dixon

In celebration of National Poetry Month, Really System Labs will feature works from RS contributors and friends all throughout April 2015. This work is based on randomly-selected chunks of text from Really System issues 1-5 that were distributed to participants.  To start us off, Jeremy Dixon used these twenty-five words to create the piece below.
