Place and Grid

The hippocampal cells that allow
Bats, rats, and humans to place themselves
Also allow at least bats to map
Their social position precisely
And get rats, at least, to imagine
They’re somewhere where the rewards are sweet
Without them ever moving. Of course,

Humans can do both these things. Assume
Your hippocampal cells are involved.
Where you are, who you are, where you wish
You could be, are all layered in there,
In those cells that punch above their weight.
Physical, social, dream locations
Are all the same kind of neural state.
