TO FEEL

To feel

or not to feel

that is the penultimate decision

if not the ultimate conclusion

the mind must analyze forensically

in this unmitigated meandering of our bodies

like a tarantula in its readiness for a kill

bone in

or bone out

flesh innocent in its fulfillment

in the color of our skin

gyrating in the warmth

of our time capsule

waiting for an answer

to feel

or not

to feel

the innocence of dying.
