Your hippocampus is exuberant.
I see alleles a mile away.
Pattern of proteins expressing as an impulse to explore
called DRD4
Thank goodness for your curiosity, and the risk in your DNA.
You may not know where you’re going, but you’ll know every inch of the way.
You turn me into terrain.
Every A to B, as you memorize me
is a story on your one way migration.
Tell them again, and again and again
Every detail needed for navigation.
Some will pass through and never look at you
or only see what they want to.
But the alleles are real. Time and attention reveal
just how to know yourself in this unknowing.
And you’re never lost.
Call it a dance, Call a game, an exchange as you find your way.
There’s time and it takes as long as it takes
the time will change you. You’re never the same.
Took Marco Polo almost a decade to get to China.
Your alleles are real. I can feel your tolerance novel stress.
Unconscious dead reckoning may take care of the rest.
What you don’t know is good for you. Makes you pay attention
All the way through, autonoetically you, and your hippocampus that I think I mentioned is
exuberant……
You're never lost.. Everywhere is home.

Meta Incognita
Set off to find the Last Kings of Thule
With your Hemishpherium
But you never really do
He heard of them from visiting whalers
Sailed to find the Inuit
From the Isle of Baffin the shaman sailed
With 38 souls to continuing
He gave them all a bird's-eye view
Setting out for unknown shores
Found a way to feel the moon
To find a way back home
We tell the tale again until
We see ourselves in stars and snow
Blowing hard or standing still
Being watchful as we go
Landmarks link to form a story
The story forms your very mind
Navigate your territory
Free you from your purgatory
It's The Dreaming, the Everywhen
It's in the past and has no end
And if you're lost, feel the moon above
Meta Incognita
As childhood navigation defeats amnesia
As the world moves backward past you and your boat
All the names and places in sequence
And so you must be watchful as you go
Your life is like a trail and the trail is home
Found a way to feel the moon
To find a way back home
