The Wood And The Fire
March 3, 2013
Anatomy says we are muscles and bones,
Woven together with
magnets and shelled by skin.
Science says that we are a development
Of theories,
Chemicals, created by
Reactions.
Logic says that we have one hundred
Years to live, and some even less than that
Because logic says we are
A
Statistic;
But if you really were to
Break past the skin
You wouldn't find
A heartbeat,
A species,
Or a clock,
You would find fire.
