Somewhere in the Upper Cortex
by jake sanders

“Hume could write Latin with his right hand
While writing Greek with his left”

Somewhere in the Upper Cortex

the intention
to write begins

this is fairly abstract

writing begins with the intention
to want to write

intention converts into action
below the level of consciousness

this is still, fairly abstract

They call it semantic retrieval
A binary code pulled from a hard drive

A bullet from a gun
Letters form a ballistic line along a curved trajectory

Your hand, arm, eyes
A complex process of more than fifty muscles
A push-
pull action

an indiosyncratic security system

the monster in the den –

is out.
