Externally, the reactions are fluid
Synapses collapse with inward movements
Soothing condolences from glands undiscovered
Just cover the pain derived from another
Excretion of rivers to expose the issue
But dexterity is developed to utilize boxed tissues
Making shopping list complete, ending with chocolates
Salivating through dentals commences with talks of it
Noticing edging on hardwood floors
Unaware of testosterone when slamming doors
Payment for labor delivers you to the teller
Wishing you could tell her the definition of stellar
Endorphins commanding the pain of sharp blotter
When getting inked to pay tribute to Father
Speaking and reading, listening and demanding
Bi-lingual, uni-lateral, omnipotent, and branded.

C'est simplement magnifique ...
Je l'aime bien.
Congratulations on the Gold trophy.
Actually, it appears that being bi-lingual is a major advantage for those who do think, although one would never know it in many cases. In your case, however, it's perfectly obvious. -
Excellent...Very creative pen..
Best wishes with this entry...
Many blessings

My favorite two stanzas are the middle two. They have that memory sound smell touch see quality that seems to work very well. I would argue the first and last stanzas are a little bit, not abstract, but use too big of words to grab the concept right. Although, I like the idea of omnipotence, and maybe that is showing how the self views its knowledge as complete, even though we learn all the time. Complete enough to make the decisions it is currently making. Good work.
