Tesseract

Seemingly alone,

I breathe in every

inch of anesthesia.

Operating room

imparts toroidal

prefab glyph of

diagnostic 

crumble.

Gratefully

I am a quilt

of coughing

beechnut sag

incision.

Sludge the same

my doc effaces

guest guerrilla melanoma

mowing Sammy stall-fest

bourbon infield pulsing

squish to flopping

head of ninety-cent

dilation front

to grafted

tesseract.
