Aging Angst
March 31, 2014
“Tell that amatuer amgydala to hush up,”
mother hisses with a hand over the
telephone receiver she's been screaming into
“You're delirious with dopamine-
That prefrontal cortex is a premature cupid,”
sighs the doctor who has magazines under his bed
“Class, you'd get it if your cerebellums weren't all
under construction,” reprimands the teacher who
never fails to grab a candy bar in the checkout line.
