Appendages

Step into my skin
Look through my eyes
Take a walk in my shoes
Fiddle with my thumbs
Feel out the situation with the pads of my fingers
Absorb it all through my flesh
Toss an idea out there with my triceps
Breathe a breath of fresh air with my lungs
Take my legs out for a spin
Break my heart
Then think it all through with this broken machine called my brain

    Wow, this is such a powerful poem and I especially love the line "Feel out the situation with the pads of my fingers" :)
