“This is you.”

Untethered, almost alive.

A brain floating in a jar

Preserved in formaldehyde.

“This is what you are.”

Every triumph, every issue

The human experience distilled

To a lump of gray tissue

“Who you are…”

A homeless soul

Human dignity stripped for parts

Body rots in a hole

“And all you’ll be.”

Truly unmatched dedication

Displayed over and over

For higher education

Professor smiles.

Proud of his illustration

Death’s horrors magnified

In scientific commodification
