My Body, My Cogito
Cogito ergo sum, says Descartes,
I think, therefore, I am.
I believed him.
Then one day I realized: I AM
Even when I don't think. I am. My body is.
My body is when the heart beats 60 times a minute,
My body is when the lung breethes every 5 seconds,
My body is when the eyelid blinks 60 times a minute,
My body is when the throat swallows every once in a while.
My body is when it awakes in the morning,
My body is when it falls asleep without realizing it,
My body is when it's hungry, thirsty, when it hurts.
All in all, my body precedes my thinking,
Therefore I don't agree,
My old René, with you anymore.
