Start To Finish

Start At the toes of bright Colored socks. Up the legs Of inky blackness on up to the Stomach a sea inside. Out to the arm delicately scarred. Up to the chest now Stop. Breathe, feel. That evergoing thump. Pressing on. A heart. Go on feel, Look you've got one too. Gentle now, don't break it. Stop. Breathe, feel. Up we go, up past the Neck, the lips, nose, the eyes. Now up to the head. Stop. Breathe, listen. The roaring chatter of a single Brain. Hopes, dreams, wishes. Thoughts, ideas, feelings. Yet none of it means, Anything. Not yet anyways. Stop. Breathe, feel, listen. Finish.
