How do I know what my body is doing?
How do I check if my glasses are slipping down my nose?
And how does that feed into the decision
To alter the
position
Of my eyeware?
Do I have a
monitor that is monitoring me?
Is there a
large carnivorous lizard within me?
Watching me with expressionless reptilian eyes?
Does it sinuously move
Its long scaly tail inside my guts?
Is it waiting to exit me?
When I no longer provide it enough sustenance?
Or when it
gets bored with assessing
If my
spectacles are slipping?
I hope that that
is so.
It would be a
good way to go,
Instead of
being laid low
From the
inevitable impending heart attack,
It would
make a change,
To go into
A&E
And have a six-foot
lizard burst out of me.
I do love
the NHS,
But my monitor
could create
Such a
beautiful bloody mess.
