FEATURE AND OBJECT 
ATTENTION
Face invisible – a vase seen instead.
Space divisible
into the haves and have nots
at least in the head.
Attentional fates determined early on by wheres
more than whats though both may matter
for the neural chatter
in a brain laid out to represent the world as it is.
ERPs the electrical whiz kid
that slices and dices time and space whether
readily accessible or somewhere hid
so that cognitive neuroscientists can continue to save face in the competition
about the whys and wherefores of visual cognition.
