Upon learning that lepidopterists freeze insects to pin them

vivianimbriotis | Sept. 29, 2024, 7:33 p.m.

Circuitry in ganglia propels

My wings to lift aloft and fly

Upon great thermals and swells

In autumn time to California


But this box keeps me tied

And my antennae weigh a tonne

The icy cold seeps into me

As I slow,

I

come

un

done

About Viv

Mid-twenties lost cause.
Trapped in a shrinking cube.
Bounded on the whimsy on the left and analysis on the right.
Bounded by mathematics behind me and medicine in front of me.
Bounded by words above me and raw logic below.
Will be satisfied when I have a fairytale romance, literally save the entire world, and write the perfect koan.
