Cadaver Speak

I surprisingly enjoyed Marianne Boruch's Cadaver, Speak poem mainly because I am excited to hear what other people thought was going occurring. What I found very interesting was the aspect that the past few poems we have read during the science phase of the course have been corresponding to biology and in particular health related fields. Since I do not really enjoy biology, I was wondering if maybe there were a few physics and/or chemistry poems that we could discuss during class. The line that stuck out the most to me was "she pressed my aorta-the crack of hard plastic." I really liked this line because when one presses a heart, the sounds usually mentioned would be of the feeling of pressing a rubberish surface. However, the crack of hard plastic may correspond to the ribcage or some other bone that is shattered in the process. Maybe the crack is of the knife hitting the hard heart. I really liked the way the author used the character in the poem to display the everlasting rush that occurs during surgery. One of my biggest fears is waking up during a surgery and feeling everything because the anesthesia did not work, so this poem actually brought out emotions I wouldnt usually have.
