Marco Chies Poet Free verse

Operating Room - Year 2104

you are not the body.
he is the operative of the subjective you.
you are the subjective of this body you.
see the way this internal monologue works.
flow of thought.
inner voice.
the cerebral narrator.
interaction with the human organism.
interprets the world using the senses.
commands its organic mechanism.
sadness, apathy or joy is your choice.
prove, approve, disapprove.
you are what you think of the body.
(tomorrow in that operating room, in 2104,
the transplanted brain will explain more.)

L Milton Hankins May 7, 2022 at 5:08 PM Interesting concept, exciting prospect. However, since the brain is the control center for the whole body, I somehow feel it is not likely replaceable. Who knows? And whose brain will it be that would replace my worn-out one? No worry, my body will be ashes and dust long before then.
