Plasticity by Bruce Morton

Nanoparticles of plastic, preliminary
Evidence indicates, congeal like
Forever knowledge in the human brain.
In disproportionate amounts compared
To elsewhere in the body. What to think?
It is difficult to shrink-wrap the mind
Around the evolving science of body
Pollution. Lucky it is that the brain’s
Plasticity provides us elasticity to think
Big thoughts about what we think about
The effects of our self-indulgent stupidity.
Think about it, our retrograde gray matter
Will not biodegrade, but be not afraid,
Each of us will be an EPA Superfund site.
