Aging Gracefully

Up in the morning body a puzzle with various layers going in and out of this dimension Liver enraged legs projecting a different plane of reality than the arms Muscle fiber groups looking for their chorus to sing a symphony instead playing a lot of solos Spleen laughing hysterically at what no one knows least of all the brain which keeps sending signals that no one wishes to hear Bowels and guts keep making fun of each others' names and comportment Kidneys about to break through the damn despite the bladder paying its taxes to keep the water out Nervous system does not have the heart to grieve this state of affairs Noises and strange motions coming from everywhere going nowhere fast Joints at wrong angles each one blaming the other and the pillow Then a loud yawn and breakfast is served
