Array ( [sid] => 51650 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => failure [time] => 2004-06-12 22:51:35 [hometext] => this is a poem before i went in to have surgery.. and this is what i hoped would happen.. it obviously didnt work out that way [bodytext] => the line is marked for the perfect place
where the single cut should be made
with confidence the knife digs in
blade follows the precise guidelines
trails of blood follow the knife
pale white skin covered in deep red

everything looks fine standard book procedure
skin is ripped apart and laid on the body
everything is visible to the world now
bones lay there calmly held in with rods
cautious hands pick up new sterile tools
slowly the intense work finally begins

silence is pierced with high pitch beeps
red lights flashing franticly
blood begins to flow out like rapids
everyone rushes trying to help in any way
beads of sweat drip off frightened faces
hands bump into each other trying to work

everyone stands around the six foot bed
heads hung low consumed with dissapointment
finally the machine is shut off bringing silence
sheet is drawn over the 16 year old face
slowly the workes file out without a word
one man is left in the room with his failure

Ami Jo, I am glad that your surgery went well.
If it didn't I would have lost a great friend,
and the world a wonderful poet.
