A spinal cord straight through
A hip bone poked out or two
Perfect
The ribs are countable
A heart that's unstable
Perfect
An empty stomach
Tongue free from any lick
Perfect
Breasts sucked in
Not fat, only thin
Perfect
Heart always monitored
Can't stand without seeing stars
Mom's crying
Breath dying
Tube pumping food
Only a bad mood



.......Perfect?
