He had a huge penis, a gifted girth. Blond hair, too.
I wonder about him--who he was, if he had loved ones. Whoever he was, he had a soul. It really brought it home for me. Whatever personality is, whatever the soul is, we inhabit these bags of meat for a time, like the packages at the supermarket, and then we die and all we are is flesh.
When you die, your lungs shrink to about the size of a pork loin.
I thank him, whoever he was, for helping me to understand the difference between visceral and parietal serosa. I had to correct my professor when he called the peritoneum the pericardium. That could happen to anybody.
Incidentally, I know not everybody wants to hear about guts n' stuff, so you know, if that's not you, let me know, and I'll get some help making a filter for those with tender sensibilities.

And a poem for your cadaver:
As the poets have mournfully sung,
Death takes the innocent young,
The rolling in money,
The screamingly funny,
And those who are very well hung.
-- W. H. Auden

Amazing how fast who we were disappears from the body, and only the markers of how we used the body are left. It's an amazing freaking world, isn't it?
