Brownian Motion Writ Large

Brownian motion writ large...
within small medium 
as light brainstorm doth 
hail forth the following poem.

Across the realm of gray matter
slowly percolating within tissue
composed of neuronal, glial 
and endothelial cells, and although 
there must be biological rules 
that determine the numbers 
of cells of each subtype 
and the volumes (or masses) 
occupied by them, 
little is known about such rules,
if they indeed exist

nevertheless, ah haint goot 
no trade secret, boot verily
attest adventitious, bounteous, and
capacious divine intervention
(analogous to invisible 
Charge of the Light Brigade)
timely saving amazing grace 
engorges, engirdles, and engenders mine
body, mind and spirit,
which psychic triage
accruing, germinating,

and manifesting coming
forth, and appearing
at the most opportune
pluperfect tinder kindling 
jawboning indeed, and
instagramming optimal instant – 
sparing irreparable cerebral damage,
yet inflicting temporary
temporal lobe trauma
not surprising giving
brain big bang, sans

tickly totally tubular raise
zing trumpeting – analogous
to Portuguese man-of-war
sea render tyranny
(Sic semper tyrannis)
over fifty plus shades sways
undulating cerebral cortex
doth lightly secretly 
with naturally secreted 
unguent liberal mindedly braise,
which explanation might meet

with skepticism, but crazy as such 
"FAKE" holy transcendent
heavenly extra corporeal
modus operandi may seem,
an inexplicable force
powerfully Herculean sensation
grips me noggin leavening
mental scratch pad in a daze
of blinding poetic inspiration doth     
like quaffing goblet 
of gin n tonic faze

this phenomena plays
a particularly puzzling role
on account difficult to phrase
in light of my being an atheist,
which non deistic, theistic, 
nor Vedic precept stays
metaphorically locked, linkedin, and
leveraged in place,
despite non religious confession
augmentation, attribution, 
and association showers inspiration, 

where eyes fixedly glaze
as literary creativity attaining
high psychological grades
dramatically engages fantastically
with cosmic force appearing
as nebulous haze
seems antithetical to premise
couched, fixated, and interleaved
anchor rightly, viz
secular humanism inlays
votary visa versa entrees

shutterfly, snapchat twitter
comport comfortably situated
in  the catbird seat
as upon royal chaise
lounge steeped within
monastic hermetically ascetic ways
akin to daffodils got to puff the 
magic dragon GoDaddy seed achieve
visibly absent pride and 
prejudice where aggrieve
ving unseen, as careening 

human bits believe
where forebears of Adam, and 
the ants sandy dunes cleave
species pollination, yet devoid of 
neither sense nor 
sensibility that deceive
themselves philanthropic buttressed 
by religious ethos, dogmas 
credo, et cetera since Eve
to and fro, hither and yon 
across the globe heave

infusing self importance 
viz zit heady species
Homo sapiens sans belief bold
lee granting superiority
to hundreds of generations 
lapsed goo gilled descendants
of contemporary Primates cold,
and calculating dictatorial demagogues
(no matter dishabille disheveled) doled
out self importance 
gussied up as kingpins,

whose braggadocio extolled
blood lust, depravity and egregious
on flip side of Manichaeism origami fold
touting faux grandeur measly
humans inherent self supremacy,
which mettle valuably wrought 
more precious than gold
whereby might versus right 
fostered iron gripped hold
trumping supreme cosmic 
deity (if such exists,

per those, who ascribe existence
to divine creator),
where mankind didst 
get special mold
where fictitious codified battlements
evinced luminary salient traits
if millennial forbears hypothetically polled
vis a vis virtue vindicates 
vice viz lyrical tomes
such legendary mythological narratives as:
Aeneid, Don Juan, 

Paradise Lost, The Divine Comedy,
Mahabharata, Beowulf, 
Metamorphoses, The Odyssey,
Epic of Gilgamesh, 
and The Iliad
displayed thunderous outrages
rectified violently rocked and rolled
where assignment throughout galaxy -
studded with malevolent 
mailer daemons all told
informed terrestrial behavior, 

decrees and formalities amidst wold
wide webbed skein tenuous 
as gossamer wings
shutterfly at the speed of sound
albeit ergot size 
solemn spores bumping,
commingling and jostling beings
whose demotic, erratic, 
and frenetic vernacular
bumped uglies against 
sacred talismanic wild things

while secular notions cursed
as intractably intolerable swings
per paradigms that disallowed rubric, 
where autocratic stings
lashed out at pagan rites, which 
when viewed from 
surface where Earthlings
dwelt appeared as unpredictable 
skittering dots with nary flings
perceived, but simply 

near microscopic simians
crowning themselves as Kings
of Leon admonishing those 
madding crowd source rings
of bright waters - 
offering entertainment
to the invisible forces 
within galactic realm 
as mere antics of goslings.
