the medical museum

i visit the medical
museum
to ponder what becomes
of us all.
parts in jars,
bits and pieces.
slides
of the human body.
petri dishes,
tissues
and brains.
hearts preserved.
and then i see a full body
skeleton
brittle and gangly,
and have to leave,
the memory
of someone hitting
a nerve.
