 Troglodyte in the Spelling Bee

I’ve an elect process of if/then protocols, brain service, hostess of will and tender of back orders. Also, I’ve a senate of organs amending my active wires ever since I learned to walk without my hands off the ground, ever since I lettered in alphabet symbols and phonyms.

“Number Four, your word is: Expansion. You have twenty seconds.”
“Expansion: E-X-P-A-N-D-I-N-G. Expansion.”
“I’m sorry, that was incorrect. Number Five…”

I’ve an innate point of mind that tells me I’ve a rook in the small group, but a castle on my own, ever since I mimicked my nursing off inborn chemical images, ever since animals could, and ever since I first breathed in a doctor’s hand, in view of the scalpel in his other.

“Number Five, the word is still: Expansion. Twenty seconds.”
“Expansion: E-X-P-U-L-S-I-O-N. Expansion.”
“Number Five, that was correct. Number Four, please exit to your left.”
