Insides Out

One day
My insides slipped outside my body
Right into my hand
Shocked and confused I stared

Reflexively
I prodded pinched and poked
Jiggled them like jello mold 
Trying to understand what I was seeing

At last 
I called out to you
Bear witness I begged
My insides right here in my hand

All the questions
Spinning 
Why and what in the world 
and how and what now

You balked
Then turned and walked away
Cause other people's insides
Ain't to be shared
