I have not realised before

I have not realised before that my Jaw is like the jaw of an animal

Until I run my finger along my teeth and on

I had not realised my job was like that if a  carnivore

The top jaw is level but the lower jaw drops down to snatch its prey

It’s strange that we don’t inhabit our bod

I’ve only realised recently that my stomach is much higher up then I thought it was my esophagus shorter

That frightening territory of the stomach and bowels is quite near the heart

The area that causes pain to children and others with toilet training and eating food you don’t like etc I wanted to keep that at a distance I think

In fact I ate very little and  having been born prematurely was briefly grievously at risk

Life is a risk being alive that is and being conscious of being alive.

And how we misuse the body. How we don’t breathe, how we tense the muscles.

How we don’t allow the body to control itself as it must do because our conscious brain doesn’t even know the map of everything

It’s the way we’re told you’re very naughty to wet your knickers as if you deliberately waited until you could not control yourself rather than being kept waiting in a queue for the one toilets in the nursery

This animal this body

Let us  inhabit our body with kindness; let us give ourselves up to our bodies and keep our brains silent.

Animals are not wicked like humans can be equally they are not so loving.

Could the love and tje hate weave together into something new and different?

Yes into the silence of the fictional future let us walk together

What more can anybody say?
