    I study the brain

    Posted on April 24, 2026May 7, 2026

    I study the brain
    and see a pattern reflected

    Entropy gathers matter into planets
    slow collisions, quiet accretion

    Evolution gathers matter into mind
    layer by layer, folded inward

    The universe continues
    and begins to notice

    What is the name of the universe?
    Its name is John
    Its name is Amina
    Wei, Mateo, Léa
    Red, Blue, Node-17
    yours
