Alphabet: 26 squiggles
By which my every thought
Coalesces into meaning.
Deep in the brain, the squiggles
Evoke concepts through language,
Forming all my ideas, whether
Grandly conceived or
Horrible beyond compare.
I am staggered at how
Just 26 squiggles can encompass so much
Knowledge and emotion.
Love, hate, and every
Machination of the mind
Notarized by just 26 squiggles.
Oh, how the seemingly arbitrary nature of the
Produced impulses raises
Questions about the nature of things.
Realizing this
Software drives every decision can be
Terrifying
Until one recognizes the
Value of the system’s adaptability.
Wernicke’s Area is said to be the place where
X marks the spot of comprehension,
Yet, how can it be that
Zero to infinity exist within just 26 squiggles?
