I'll read this one, just because it's
taken me a long time to feel brave enough to read it.
It's a found poem, in a way.
I think you'll see what I'm talking about.
It's called "Inventory."
The heart weighs 360 grams.
Stenosis in the coronary, 80% occlusion, the valves
are unremarkable.
The ventricles are unremarkable.
The brain weighs 1,310 grams and is normal size and shape.
The brain stem has the usual patterns on cut surface,
positive for duloxetine antidepressant in the blood,
positive for nicotine, for ethanol.
The genitals are those of a normal man.
The scalp has no contusion.
The skull has no fracture.
The mustache is a quarter inch, the beard is a half.
The nose and facial bones are intact.
The tongue is unremarkable.
The airway is clear.
