Abstract: If brains could talkRows of shelved brains Shuddered in blind horror as One was taken down for dissection.They would have turned to each other, To commiserate and console, But they had no heads to turn, No tongues to speak.A recently departed obsessed over his hideous miscalculation; Faced with filling out an advance directive, He had ignored the telltale warnings of nausea and dread.Dead is dead, he hammered his wife and family Until he was seduced by his own bravado.A neighbor sought temporary relief in absurdist philosophies, Another in the slippery ironies of Zen koans.Most were preoccupied with old memories, Editing spools of recall into the final cut That could withstand perpetual showings.
