CYBER WORM: Reflections on neural malware software

	A
	worm is
	squirmin'
	in the
	korners ah me
	brain. Late at
	night when me
	body is still I
	feel it wriggle,
	chomp & giggle
	az it moves thr
	ough me kranium.
	At first I hardly
	noticed dey blasted
	bugger, butt az mem-
	ory after memory
	dissolved it be-
	came klear my en-
	tire mind is worm-
	infested: it's
	nothing butt ah medley
	ah chemicals &
	microbes which
	constantly mu
	tate & re
	kombine


Nadya: 	I guess we all have worms in our brains.

Gus: 	Of course. There are so many ideological 'worms' in the environment, 
        that we all get infected in some ways. The challange is to keep coming back 
        to our core values after fragmentation.

Liao: 	(sipping a cup of herbal tea, then wiping his lips) Isn't that what bravery is? 
        Each person falls. However, it takes bravery to get up and recommit. Never 
        fear getting cracked, bruised, or torn apart – we're only defeated when we 
        cease trying to rebuild & restore.

Bill: 	(raising his eyebrows) Perhaps our general understanding of "worms" is incorrect? 
        What if some worms actually contain useful information? Who decides what is a 
        "worm" and what isn't?
