Dissection

do you remember getting better
when in minutes like seconds
the future dies
time as trauma waits to occur
metal rending flesh

is happiness like your dreams
lost in four hour nights
to a lack of REM sleep

what is it like
to know your own biology
blood and sub-dermal fat
diagrams can’t teach what is
white, polished, smooth
just beneath cow flesh
