The aroma of the brain is something I do not mind

While wisdom escapes from Rohgaar’s lips

imagine what lies beneath his neurotic apron

a mass of cells all teaming with organelles

come traverse through the sub arachnoid space

across soft gyri and linger in shallow sulci

visit such places as occipital, parietal, and temporal

have a seat in the stella tursica and observe

the ballet between the hypothalamus and pituitary

meander through and spend some time with suprachiasmatic nuclei

then get to know the putamen and caudate of the basal ganglia

slide along the corpus collosum and meet the fornix

on your way out don’t forget the four colliculi

and the lonesome pineal gland.

Don’t worry about me, I am going to stay a while.

For the aroma of the brain is something I do not mind.
