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
