Specimen Q: The queer body (update)

I invite knives,
so curious a thing
must be dissected?
Make a slit,
slide away skin.
Is the skull
lumpy
or a finger
too long?
Cut a flap,
expose the insides
an x-ray flash.
Compare. Contrast.
Open the mouth,
position the legs,
put a finger here,
there.
Protect yourself
with latex.
Separate the heart
with wires
from the chamber
to the cell,
exhibit
with your stain
fix the brain,
an example.
