If I somehow found out I had only a mouth
Things would quickly tumble South
With no brain to refrain
All the nonsense gushing out

Or what good would be sight if I only had eyes
To gaze out in wonder
Seeing the signs then paying no mind
To one thing or another

What about ears if all I did was hear
But never really listened
To the laughter and cries of other lives
Would I know what I was missing

And then again if I only had hands
Would they know to reach out and touch
Or would they only lie by my wanting side
Never once knowing love

I need all my parts for this work of art
To keep it all in motion
To make any sense out of any of this
Key to my emotions
