Bioscan

[Inside]

V1:

Something gross inside the marrow

Sunken deep at the bottom of a barrel.

I don’t wanna know what lies beneath the rot

Feeling gummy and numb as my skin gets hot.

I wish I was you, or him, or had her big mouth-

But this MRI is revealing things I’d rather live without…

(MRI machine scanning, beeping, clanging)

V2:

She gives me flowers for the trip downstairs,

I lose myself in the headlights’ glare.

White noise filling up my lungs

While swimming in pools that are not my own.

My father looks lonesome, my mother disagreeable-

Nothing feels worse that being invisible…

Scan me down the middle...take a look into my bones…

Let love know

that the hollow fort of my own head has grown…

Long and lean, limbs askew…

(Please wait for the bioscan to complete...)

Int:

Oxygen machine switches on, someone lights a cigarette

Exhalation of breath

V3:

Gown and glove and dress and sock

The white of her eyes greet me

What a shock-

Now I’m late

For my bioscan date.

Now I’m cutting out the sickness… (x5)

You don’t know who you are, so I am cutting it out…

C2:

All this ringing in my head, phone left off the hook

Let my head hang as my hands shook

It’s not common, it’s not a cold,

But they say, “Don’t worry, don’t worry-

People like you always grow old.”

Footsteps nervously pacing on the floor

Come on, come on, come on...

Miralax

Dulcolax

Diclofenac

Anthrax

Xanax

Midalozam...

“And when they were come unto a place called Golgatha,

that is to say, a place of a skull,

They gave him vinegar to drink mingled with gall:

and when he had tasted thereof, he would not drink.

And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots…”

The results are in-

Bioscan negative.
