What about little microphones?
What if everyone swallowed them, and they
played the sounds of our hearts
through little speakers,
which could be in the pouches of our overalls?
When you skateboarded down the street at night
you could hear everyone’s heartbeat,
and they could hear yours, sort of like sonar.
One weird thing is,
I wonder if everyone’s hearts
would start to beat at the same time,
like how women who live together
have their menstrual periods at the same time,
which I know about,
but don’t really want to know about.
That would be so weird,
except that the place in the hospital
where babies are born
would sound like
a crystal chandelier in a houseboat,
because the babies wouldn’t have had time
to match up their heartbeats yet.
And at the finish line
at the end of the
New York City Marathon
it would sound like war.
