brain bloom

 

brain bloom (after watching Lucy)

 

she goes cosmic—

flesh turned data turned god,

a memory stick passed like gospel.

 

but there’s a dragon behind every desk,

and he's got a Korean name and a trigger smile.

 

this is science fiction not for thinking—

but for feeding old fears new CGI.

 

the myth of brain limits

has more screen time than the truth of neuroplasticity.

she uses 100%— and forgets to ask 100% of what.

 

not empathy, nor memory of loss,

nor the syntax of sorrow— not even doubt.

perhaps it is the capacity for forgetting she maxes out.
