Notes from a Sequestration
​
​
I’m sitting at the breakfast table
with my functional MRI cap on
listening to Car Talk
on the radio,
Tom and Ray
are laughing,
one of them has died,
this is The Best of Car Talk,
after all,
and I wonder
if important parts
of my brain
are lighting up,
we are so hungry
for connection.
