managing anatomy


You can pull apart the carcass of a cooked chicken quite easily. What should be different about our insides?

Imagine wrapping your hands around yourself - from the sides, elbows crossed in front - and separating your shoulder blades out from your spine. Sliding the round head of the femur through the hip joint to create a satisfying pop. Stretching your cartilage like taut chewing gum. Thumbing at flaccid skin, oily and dead-coloured.

My bones are sitting too close to each other. They need to be rearranged.
