I Am Now Much More Than Me

I don’t need my hands to write

if I must I’ll use my feet

and if my feet up and disappear

I will use my mouth to speak.

but if my mouth is soldered shut

I have eyes that do it all

and if the fates call for them too

this is what you need to do.

to my breast your ears shall meet

for my heart still has a beat

and when you hear that drum no more

bring me to the forest floor.

here is where you’ll place a sign

it will read Please go, I’m fine

then return in seven days

and if my body still remains

look around at what you see

I am now much more than me.
