Anatomy

"You can't study anatomy from the outside. It's on the inside, that's where your guts are." Justin

I can't study you from the outside.
After all what is there to see but your thick layer of skin?
What you show to the world.
I'm not interested in that.
I want to get to the heart of the matter.
It's on the inside, that's where your guts are.
All the importance you have to offer.
Your stories, trials, and tribulations.
All evidence of change.
Let me inside.
I can't see your heart from here.
I don't know what makes it different from mine.
Your scars and how you got them.
What makes it beat so?
And guts,
how much do you have?
No posturing, how long are your entrails?
Your veins, from here they look like rope,
but maybe they are just strings.
Allow me to trace them and we can find out where they lead.
