Anatomy Lesson (Poem)
Forgive me
students
but my skeleton
will not be
a good visual aid
while still alive
I so loved life and freedom
that I opened up my chest
to free my heart
and from each rib
I tried
to create a woman
while alive I used to
tear my brains apart
with questions about life
not to mention
the skull
