There are crime scenes that involve bodies.
A corpse feels nothing.
How lucky.

I walk through life with a body that is a crime scene,
Dust me for prints.
Good luck with the count.

Formaldehyde cologne façades my decay.

Make no mistake.

This corpse still breathes.

Interesting one. Especially the idea of walking through life as a crime scene. And I like the poem ending on a breathing corpse.

But another sad poem. Nothing cheery?
