We Are Math

Electrons fulfill their wave equations Bonding polarities shift their vectors Giving way for kinase phosphorations On a channel near neural connectors Anions build within the cell's walls So Potassium plays with its mates Sheltered from large sodium rainfalls By fat magnesium blocking the gates A signal could pass and make it rain From many parts throughout the brain But most frequencies are duly spurned Unless its what these neighbors learned The right signal comes, but it's passed on stronger For the potassium flees the rain a little longer They push against the kinase's phosphate To make their departure a tad more late The vesicles blow from the rain saying go Making sure the next neuron hears clear Pushing hard to keep that thought's flow So even the inhibited get their ass in gear The kinase made the switch, because it wanted change Cued by serotonin to increase the shout range And why then did it decide to override inhibition? The sight of new light gave the brain a mission It's sad serotonin is so sparse in society Because our missions get no cheer to be clear The neurons just stay safe without variety And duty always seems eclipsed by fear
