THE TASTIEST PART OF THE BRAIN, by Emily Jiang

Not your emotional center—too

messy, too gushy with hate-love

scrambles. Not your language

control—too silly, too chewy

from unsung rambles.

Perhaps your fine-tuned motor

skills—I’d like to dance, to play,

be free. Perhaps your squished

occipital lobe—I’d like to see

what you can see—­­

how you recognize rights

from wrongs, how you memorize

lyrics of songs, how you plan

to organize, justify, socialize

scattered synapses firing shambles.

But I prefer your corpus

collosum, that stringy-loopy fiber,

strongest in musicians, connecting right

with the other right, connecting

you with me.
