Beauty of Sound

BEAUTY OF SOUND





Every thing we see everything we taste, all we hear,

Are reduced to electronic impulses in our brain,

Listening to trance drives my ganglion insane,

Glutamate released, a spark jumps the synapse

An electronic brainstorm in my brainstem.



My sinoatrial node responds, and releases Ca, Na and K,

The thyroid releases thyroxin and my heart starts a rocking,

Beating in a faster rhythm, more blood flowing,

Breathing quickens, airways dialate, so I don't asphyxiate

More oxygen delivered to my brain and I don't feel any pain.



An electric message sent from my brain begins its round trip,

Down a pyramidal neuron of my motor cortex,

Sent down the spinal chord, and my peripheral nervous system,

To the neuromuscular junction, releases calcium ions and actylcholine,

The muscle makes a concentric contraction and taps my foot to the beat.



This seems like an incredible feat, just moving my body to the beat,

Hearing the music, the rhythm so sweet,

So many movements, my dancing feet, elevated heartbeat,

My somatic nervous system leaves nothing to think about,

Just sit back and enjoy the auditory treat!
