operation curiosity
first thing in the morning
the stage will be set
and I will be the principal actor
lying flat on my back
waiting to be anesthetized
an ever growing crowd
quietly fills the twenty thousand
seats of the amphitheater
the acoustics so perfect
I can hear an infant sleeping
later I would be told
my heart was entirely exposed
entertaining all the spectators
by beating in perfect rhythm
in someone else’s hands
july two thousand twenty
