Open Heart




I have a technique for discovering the real person.

It goes like this,

using a sharp instrument

make a 4-inch cut in the chest wall,

divide the muscles,

crack open the rib cage,

remove the heart.

Study it.

Memorize the valves and arteries

the aorta

ductus arteriosus

pulmonary vein

vena cava

ventricles

oxygen-rich blood.

Maybe then you will understand

what makes it tick.

Who it loves.

Why it suddenly stops

as easily as it started.

I think I will have elective

open heart surgery

to discover the real me.

Help Support the Good People of Alabama

This Saturday, May 21, 2011:

My friend Jamie and her friend Jamie are launching an art auction for Alabamians affected by the Aril 27th storms.

All proceeds will be donated to the Alabama Red Cross Disaster Relief for Countless Crises. There is also the option for auction winners to have their donation to the Alabama Red Cross to be placed in memory of a specific person killed on April 27th, 2011.

Spread the word.
