"So, this is my life. And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be."


ribcage fused to spine
to keep me aligned.
nerves connect the brain
to keep me sane.

there must be a mistake somewhere.

could such a complex being--
a representation of God, if you will--
been built by skipping
a step or two?
lacking a ligament here?
chest cavity absent of lungs there?
bowels inside out
and blood serving as spit?

there must be something wrong with me.
