An organism

Read Herman Hesse and Santoka in the lavatory,

diarrhea again,

took urine samples to laboratory this morning,

all those things remains of what go through us

like those words I read -

what will the words leave behind?

What of them will become me,

what will drive me forward

and what end up flushed down the toilet?

So much can be told about us

by medical staff and archaeologists alike

based on our faeces,

but that what remained with us

no coprolite, no urine sample

will reveal. It became us,

we became it,

what we became perished,

except those words we left behind,

the facade of our wisdom.
