Scientific Treatise

If love is a chemical reaction in the brain If attraction is simply chemistry If the right substances binding and exploding, Combining and conquering, Coursing through my effervescent adolescent veins, Conquering my conscious and unconscious actions, Consuming and possessing me, caressing me, Turning my blood against my better judgment, Compelling me toward a clearly catastrophic, Clearly cathartic and exotic end, Can make me a doe-eyed, endearing lunatic, Then... If I'm just along for the ride on a careening mind trip, Then let me stop to sniff the flowers.
