Love at first sight ? ?

Opinion versus science - in this case
love at first sight v. brain research apace.
Electric currents alter mental states;
can these determine people's loves and hates?
Which neuron pulses set our hearts on fire?
Which lobe controls elation, which desire?
What biochemical strange elixir flows
when glands secrete infatuation's dose?
Is love no more than chemical imbalance?
Perhaps infatuation is but talents
take time to surface and much time must pass
before two personalities merge fast.
Love needs much more than one sight, wisdom chides;
it's what remains behind when chemistry subsides.
