EXPLORERS WALK THROUGH MOTH CAVES
WING DUST SPOTS THEIR GLASSES
WHILE THEIR WIVES CARRY GEIGER COUNTERS
CLOSE BEHIND THEM
EXPLORERS FLY UNMANNED SHIPS
THROUGH DEEP QUIET REACHES
TRANSMISSIONS LEAK OUT
AND FIND MEN AT EQUIPMENT
EXPLORERS STUDY BABY BEHAVIOR
IN THEIR FIRST AND INNATE HOURS
BEFORE EXPERIENCE HAS THE CHANCE
TO CHANGE THEM FOREVER
AND EVER
AND EVER

THE WITCHES BESOM
There is reason to think that many alkaloids and other drugs which affect behavior work by being chemically similar to natural small brain proteins, of which the endorphins are one example. Many of these small proteins act on the limbic system and are concerned with our emotional states. It is now possible to manufacture small proteins made of any specified sequence of amino acids. Thus, the time may soon come when a great variety of molecules will be synthesized capable of inducing human emotional states, including extremely rare ones. For example, there is some evidence that atropine - one of the chief active ingredients in hemlock, foxglove, deadly nightshade, and jimson weed - induces the illusion of flying; and indeed such plants seem to have been the principle constituents of unguents self-administered to the genital mucosa by witches in the Middle Ages - who, rather than actually flying as they boasted, were atropine-tripping. But a vivid hallucination of flying is an extremely specific sensation to be conveyed by a relatively simple molecule. Perhaps there are a range of small proteins which will be synthesized and will produce emotional states of a sort never before experienced by human beings. This is one of many potential near-term developments in brain chemistry which hold great promise both for good and evil, depending on the wisdom of those who conduct, control and apply this research.
