“My NERF Heart (Endzone Corazón)”

My lone heart is spongy and soft

Not un-like a NERF football

Its coloring’s bright, built strong to last

And delights when it gets to go long

In a spiralling arc on a dizzying flight

Your eyes must be open to catch it

But if we misjudge and it lands on your face

The sting will be gone in an instant

Much of my career in radiology has been spent studying, with great fascination, the internal mechanisms of the human body. This blog is an effort to expand that view to the outside world and also to map my own experiences engaging with it.
