Alive Featuring Ashwin Kumar

The most irrelevant 24 hours of your life. Of breathing. A heart pumps blood. Lungs expand and contract with the business of keeping you alive. Kidneys keeping the blood clean. Gall bladder and intestines keeping the sanitary but unmentionable business of your body. Your brain processing thoughts and memories of however long you've lived, making decisions, analysing what’s hot or cold or that you’re hungry. Your stomach making demands and betraying you all the time. Your blood vessels brimming with the fluids of being alive.

And you call your day irrelevant! That has to be the most insane inane thing. That there could be so many hearts beating - warm want in a cardiovascular glove.

And still we get to be ordinary outside, on the surface of this skin.

Remarkable, isn't it?
