Transparent
let’s teach ourselves of
the human conditions
from the library room’s
nonfiction barricades
we can find it there
misundercatalogued
uncirculating yet
illustrated
and clearly summarized
it may be unglued
and nearly unbinded
from the central thread
that runs in the spine
but still the transparencies hold
we may symbolize
each system in layers
anatomical
and simply organizezd
colorful coded
translucent and painted
to overlap with
the pure substrates beneath
and still the transparencies hold
the skin is above
the nerves are below
the arteries are separate
and yet full organized
and still the transparencies hold
the brain is flattened
the head is flattened
the dynamics of
the breath are absent
and yet full organized
but still the transparencies hold
