"Anomalies & Curiosities of Medicine,
O, you've taken matters
Upon yourself,

Upon yourself,
You tinker as a toy embryology ...

As teratology previously cataloged monsters
For The Age of Reason,
Literature gives voice,

If not choked
If not strangled
If not mangled
If not assaulted

Out of The Age of Reason.
Out of The Body of Matter.
Out of The Reality of Gravitas."
~ Black Rock

"The Aesthetics of Morality.
The Aesthetics of Ethics.

The Aesthetics
Of Emotion.
Of Need.
Of Coherent Mind.
Of Love.
Of Care.
Of Enduring Value.
Of Story Shared.

Of A Chaire At The Table."
~ AE

"'What about this clairvoyant feeling?'
Stanton asked.

'I'd like to think that is a reflection of an increase
in overall brain function,' Edward said.
'In that sense perhaps it could have some
antidepressant effect.'

'Music to my ears,' Stanton said. 'Tell me,
what's the next step with this compound?'"
