taking out the brain
i’m a med student
and for the past few weeks
we’ve been working on a cadaver
at first
i didn’t want to know anything
about him
i covered the head of the guy
wanted to pay him some respect
i didn’t want to think
that this person lived
before i dissected him
i had a hard time
taking out the brain
cause you know, that’s where
the memories are
that’s what makes him
him
it’s not so hard now
they get the bodies from the morgue
they’re homeless people, mostly
no family
it’s not so hard now
