98.6

Forgotten, on tile.

Small grey screen.

A number held fast,

perfectly clean.


Not mine, this calm.

This steady beat.

The body's truth,

precise and neat.


My own heat wavers.

A wilder sum.

But the plastic eye

knows where I'm from.


One simple fact.

No room to explain.

Just 98.6.

Again. Again.
