➥ Analysis

‪━━━━*⃝̥┈┈┈𖥸┈♡┈𖥸┈┈┈*⃝̥━━━━‬
Strolling softly in my fast paced surrounding,
I pause to analyze,
The different dimensions of my personality,
Hunting the answer for, truly who am I?
Only to Infer, I am so hard to comprehend,
Each time different reactions to same trend,
Until I give up trying to fit me in any mould ,
Embracing each form of my soul,
Complicated yet simple, not here to conform,
Analysis failed, aplomb restored.

➥ Analysis

The mountains sunk into the pits
The earth crumbled to bits

The moon on fire, sun gone cold
The ground beneath me starts to fold

Fire and ice, with fear,conflate I watched the ocean evaporate

And yet amidst the most calamitous
Through broken mirrors was the analysis

For even as the world would transcend
We judged ourselves until the end.

➥ The Science of Poetry

A poet is just a scientist

Who learned to use words

And paint pictures into paper

Carve worlds of things we've learned

We run diagnostics on experiences

Analyse every second, everything heard

Our prose becomes an omen

And yet we dare think ourselves absurd

➥Pillow Talk

The lecturer exhibits his magnetic scans of brains —

Coloured regions, active neurons — as he self-explains:

"Testosterone and estrogen flame our heart's desires —
Secret fires of our loins, visions lust-inspired.
Serotonin in decline links to strong attraction.
Dopamine recalls rewards for athletic action.
Oxytocin, vasopressin drive togetherness —
Bonding, fondness, soft affection, care and tenderness.
After much analysis, we've figured Cupid's Code!"

Half-way, in the audience, his ex-wife leaves the show.
