Digestion of the gunk I’ve chewed
That is how I use my food
ATP that’s been removed
That is how my muscles move
Tiny hair cells in the ears
That is how I hear my hears
Rods and cones that snatch the light
That is how I see my sight
Cilia within the nose
That is how I smell a rose
Pumping lungs—I’ve got a pair
That is how I breathe the air
Ventricles that squeeze and squirt
That is how my heartbeat works
Neurons firing quick as blinks
That is how I think my thinks
Kittens, sloths and baby seals
That is how I feel my feels
And that’s how I end my song
(Have I gotten something wrong?)
