We are more than physical

We are more than physical

Human

Drives do not have pistons

There is no pressure release valve

Steam does not escape through the ears

Disney is a corporation

Not a biology class

We are more than blood

The heart is not just a pump

It has a greater capacity

For self-regulation

Than a turbine

Freud was an analyst

Not an engineer

We might look the same

On the inside

At first glance

But whatever powers

The brain

Pumps the heart

Refreshes the blood

Remains a mystery

Even with a microscope

There is little hope

Of finding the spark

Of difference

We all carry somewhere

On the inside

It might be god’s particle

Is partial

To soul music

Either way

Heidegger was a philosopher

Not a gardener

And the seeds he planted

Were existential

There was no closed system

Sealed hermetically

To preserve life

But hermeneutically

Contrived

Phenomenologically

Constructed

To provide no answers

Just an unlimited supply

Of individuated subjects

As a topic

Of conversation.
