   It may be tempting to assume everything flickers at the same rate.   
      
   Yet when the frothiness froths, as waves on the surface of an ocean,   
   not all waves peak at the same time, and that can be a point.   
   The quantum world is not your average classical world.   
      
   As neurons fire, they also cease.   
   How many times per second they can release   
   various chemicals into the system to be absorbed   
   by other neurons in a wave-form, can be said to flicker   
   while the rates vary over time at times.   
      
   When one part of the brain observes the foam, hence   
   froth and goes forth and multiplies, the math is done.   
      
   When the work is done, and one has checked one's work,   
   then it's said to be time to stop. When time stops,   
   a whole nuther b'all game begins to begin.   
      
   - such is life, for mere mortals
