The kidneys are so beautifully organized;
We are bless to have two inside.
There are two kidneys, each about the size of a fist.
From God it is a beautiful gift.
They are such a positively divine precision.
Such a vital part that keeps the body moving and living.
Their work of regulation with such a miraculous flow.
It filter wastes (especially urea) from the blood and excrete them and water in urine that
is how it goes.
It is excretory organs that has a bean shape.
That is what makes it so unique and great.
The production of urine involves highly complex steps of excretion.
That is called reabsorption.
They have so many important functions.
Kidneys also control the red blood cell production.
The kidneys also produce hormones.
Also they produce an active form of vitamin D that promotes strong, healthy bones.

Sitting in a cloak of black conservatism:
I feel my hands,
oily on the desk like shortening in
slate gray cookie pans,
the speedway inside forcing the absence of
reabsorption,
And my thoughts,
so flippant to implore
if a man with a chartreuse neck tie
can see the long wet streaks
across the cherry plane.
He speaks,
a sequence of interrogatives
common to the bored walls
of serious conference,
evoking tone inflection
in the pattern of polite.
Darest I mention truth?
I am your whore;
infect me with smug integrity,
smack me with false prophet leadership,
just leave some crisp bills
on the nightstand, sugar.
Yet my voice models his wavelength,
relaying back the catchy tired language
of one hit wonders;
eyes brighten,
hands extend
from the man who owns a chartreuse tie.
Sigh.
Still,
complacency
awards a loaf of Wonder bread,
and a two bedroom lower.
