Cut Open My Brain

When I die 
Cut open my brain 
To see 
How I died
And how I lived

Check out its size and shape 
To see what direction 
I was going in 
And what direction 
I was coming from.

Check out its color and its intensity  
To see the mood 
I was in 
And the mood of  
Those around me

Check out its weight 
To see if my diet 
exercise 
and life style
Were finally working 

And finally
Check out 
That all its  parts 
Were there
In their correct size places.
