They're all asleep now so that each of my elderly
alpha synuclein particles snuggles gently against its chosen
dendritic spray, waiting for the first of five grandchildren
to wake up frightened, look for school clothes, look for
their mom, and ask for water, while ignoring a grandparent’s
slowly capitulating struggle with his overwhelming sense of
entropy, which can be delightfully stalled for a few
nanoseconds while watching a middle-school dance
recital, or a seven-boy tag-team football
game, or even by listening to precise
'structions for making
cherry tapioca.
