Chattering Mris … 0910-2k12 Poem by saadat tahir

Will she see in the uncus
Forlorn sighs suppressed
Or along the optics
hidden cries stretched

curving in the fornix
primeval urges ply
that the fanning forceps
so oft act to deny

on coronals cerebella
full and ample float
such above in frontals
the tongue wags to gloat

she seeks in these
the subtle hints and cues
that erase in her own parietals
visuals and lingering blues

she searches for a callosum
packed with fibers that fly
buzzing here and there
then to the side softly lie

the man etched in mazes
whose associations never die
she takes her time to decipher
frontals abuzz on an fMRI
