Code Cool

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
