There is a basis to being in a body
As a vehicle: operable or hindered
An understanding of impact
Smashing a hand or spine into contact
Alters the internal processing to
become incapable
Of daily function
Breathing, heartbeat, movement
Two hundred and six bones, fibers,
vessels, blood
The nature of an organized system of
atoms
Posing as cells fluctuating exchange
Inside a common equation of science
driven by spirit
In a swishing capsule of volition
I am
Being
Perceived self
Inside flesh
In the now cage rattled
Ball of nerves at the base of spine
Flaring unable to lift foot, torque
abdomen
Without cluster bomb
In the now metacarpals shattered
Fist into stage
Titanium reconstruction
Cyborg kangaroo pouch vagabond
In the now marrow cancerous
Femur splintered cyst bust
Insurgent blood
How old do I get to be?
In the now Sudanese lost boy
Parents gunned, you are chief now
Shaking to cross a river never taught
how to swim
Searching for this is safe
To breathe, to be, to add these days
What is your contribution, the mass of
hours
The
art, the science, the mathematics of participation?
