A Hearty, Unhealthy Abstraction

I had an idea. 
And then I burned
the pages that described
in schematic detail
the origins and organs
of my abstraction.

The idea resisted
conflagration.
My conglomerate mind
acquired a few more notions
and the end of the memory
was banked.

My ankles hurt.
This backpack
carries too much
organization.

I became an idea
and it was not healthy
because ideas
and organisms
cannot long share
the same face.
