Injured part

November 2009, Patissia, Athens

The injured part is in my bed
and someone said they shouldn't touch me.
Can the surgeon cut it from my head?
If I couldn't hope, you wouldn't trust me.

Don't want to wake up far away
to hear them say "we found him".
Would I see there's more to me
than the shape I walk around in?
