Code Cool - Patricia Barber
Split seconds can carry quite a surprise
Diffuse white matter will close my eyes
Thus brutalized
I will sleep as if I were dreaming
Emergency downbeat Code Cool
Begins rapid sequence intubation
IV squeeze and circulation thus stabilized
I inspire as if I were preaching
I square dance slow make love with my lips
Read eyes like books read books like science
I remember and fix citation to case
Case to form
Discombobulation and I can cook up a storm
I'm Michelangelo's David tested and worn
Distal extremity return my new shoes are wide
They are smooth light brown fat soles and ties
Thus mobilized
And I walk as if I were dancing
I will speak as if I were teaching
I will live as if I were loving
