There Are Cracks

I want to peel my skin off
in sheets and read the instructions
on the undersides.

to detach my muscles and make
sure they are not installed
upside down or wrong side out.

to be sure my bones are connected
tab A into slot A.

But I cannot dismantle myself
I cannot rebuild.

I can only live, walk, talk
but there are cracks &
certain parts fit loosely, if at all.

And light shines through from
another world. A world much distant
but greater than this.
