A still relevant memo from the time I posted this on Facebook when WordPress was actin’ a fool–
“I wanted to write a blog post but WordPress is having some technical errors so I figured I’d just share here for now. I just wrote this now so it’s still in a bit of a drafted phase, but I personally love it when writers share their drafts so I thought it’d still be fun to share. Usually I like to give a bit of an introduction for context with my poems but I think this one speaks for itself in some ways and is very much up for interpretation in others. Without further ado, please enjoy my poem, ‘Technological Heart’–”

In the place where there should have been a heart beating
There was a cavity and her real heart no where to be seen.
In its place was the absolute most peculiar thing

“She’s waking up!” Screamed the nurse.
Somehow this heart still pumped her blood.
“Could this get any worse?”
The doctor froze. An idea started to bud.
“Stitch her back up!” He exclaimed, with confidence in his eyes.
“She may not connect the same, but this heart can still give her life.”
When she finally woke up they never told her the full truth.
They said they encountered an “anomaly” which would give her some odd physical therapy to do.

“Make sure you go on social media, at least twenty times a day.
Be sure to keep your like count up so your brand new heart can stay.”

This was seven years ago that Booker T. Gram Hospital saw the first case of technologically induced heart failure.
Twas also the first technological heart transplant whose treatment includes increasing amounts of therapy, even 7 years later.
