Poem Title:
Poem
Underneath it all… No, not clothe-less—not naked… Skinless…we’re traveling DEEP within… Imagine your skull cut…split right in the middle, Opening up to reveal your AMAZING brain, As the rest of your body unfolds… The fancy clothes…the hair…the young or old, Bones exposed…organs revealed… The pupils of your eyes growing and receding, As you look upon yourself… You don’t know him or her yet… The blood is spilling freely and you welcome the sensation that you are now experiencing The heart is rapidly THUMPING from the sudden exposure Your lungs feel the air on top of it, The air that it works with every day—suddenly, it is foreign to it… Teeth chattering, it is raining now… The water is COLD as hell on Mt. Everest Mt. Everest is bare…snow-less, compared to your cold, exposed body… And no oxygen is needed to survive… The reveling waves of your mind are forming all of these feelings… You stand there, Without a blink or blemish, Staring at you… There is no thought that you cannot decipher in those inner features… Your brain is projecting a film in the clouds above you, As your skull and skinless neck turn upwards toward the heavens! The fat of your present has melted into the ice… The guts are not needed for this ride… No glasses needed either, No jewelry…no tampons…no knives or guns… Your eyes only glue themselves subconsciously towards the awe-full projection before you… Now…NOW you are being introduced to yourself! Your defensive Alzheimer’s disease is giving you a rest… You are faced with the pictures of your PAST… The ugliness…the PAIN— The excruciating TRUTH that your memory withholds from the rest of the world… Some even know your secrets… But they can’t feel it the way YOU feel it—they never will… The happiness…the comfort…the BEAUTY… You see it all unfold in a movie, Sound effects reverberating all around you, The organs twitching—almost, with a mind of their own, embarrassed…
