In my dream

the scientist had grown

creatures.

in water.

shaped

like a kidney. It was the one

These can be scanned

by science tools. We could slice you open, slip them in. They can be seen

on screens. This will help them not

remove the things

 we need.

She said:

We are the things inside us, but

we aren't anything that we contain.

This is a prototype and

it won't work.

I did want it. It could be scanned and seen

on screens. It glowed under the water.

But then, it wouldn't work

because

I'm nothing I contain.

I am the things inside me

and I'm nothing

I contain.
