We Silent Glossy Standing

Splay me. Lay me out across the table.
Poke me. Prod me. Stick needles deep within-
Plastic fantastic trapped in a fable.
Sharpened surgeries- show them all my sin.

My eyes will never blink- they're ceaseless stones,
Polished beads I'll bear forever because
Plastic was harshest on my optic cones.
Vacant gaze, will you wonder who I was?

Plastinate me! My blood will never seep,
Though I'm trisected open to the world.
Empty chest, I grasp my organs in heap,
Posed like a gymnast, I'll hold them up twirled!

This sacrifice makes me the sweetest dove,
Commited to teach in the broadest love.
