Free Will And The Brain Poem by Paul Hartal

'Scientists claim', said the horse, 'that when you believe
that you decide to do something, your brain has already
made that decision earlier.'

'Really? ' said the bird.

'Yes', said the horse. 'We have no free will at all'.

'Yet I can fly and you can't', uttered the bird.

'True', agreed the horse, 'but I don't wish to fly.
In any case, if I change my mind I will grow wings
and become a flying horse in a poem.'
