Interconnected

Interconnected like axon-on-dendrite,

Neural network webs interweaved,

With chemical messenger bees of the hive mind field of electrical impulses.

Interactions impermanent,

Permanently selective pre-programmed permeability,

Or,

Long or short-term plasticity,

Conditionally activated receiving can even repress other signals in entirety,

Entirely altering a sense’s sensibility.

Did you know that every receptor for smell is unique?

And that there’s also one for everyone you meet?

So everyone holds the potential to hijack that sensual plane of your existence hormonally

And hormones are actually the most powerful molecules, a physiological skeleton key,

Opening the floodgate doors to a Pandora’s Box,

Causing a largely unmediated emotional response.

We can hardly fathom the degree to which together we are ensconced.

Interconnected like axon-on-dendrite,

Each of us a thread in humanity’s cloth interwoven,

With no way of knowing how we are folded or when we will fray.
