Stratified Squamous Epithelium

i like spelling "i" in the small case
doesn't it make me humble?
yet, do i feel this way
ever?
humble pie ... 
death, destruction, deplorable images
smash your loved one in the face
reality gravitates around
a death mask
feel your sternum ...
apply C.P.R.
and maybe your pericardium
becomes electric 
again
telling you what to do
so that thoughts of originality
slip into dreams

Dennis, you're in good company with the small i. E.E. Cummings is one of my favorites. Nice work! Carolyn
