That's The Map of You
Channel: Jonathan Mann
Date: 2018-12-09

Take a left 
At your ribcage
Roundabout
At your heart
Follow veins
Into fingers
Circle back
To the start
Your lungs
Fill with water
Hydrating the trees
Your ears 
sprout good luck 
Your gut thick 
With disease

That’s the map of you

Drill down 
Into your thighbone
In the marrow 
And the dust
Hair follicles 
On fire
Brains of chrome
To rust
Through your 
belly button
Find the thread
and pull it through 
Tie it to the ceiling fan
A whirly gig 
Of you



Hi there! If you're new around these parts, welcome. I'm Jonathan Mann. I write a song every single day, and I've been doing that for the last 9+ years.

Through sick days, tired days, days with no inspiration, the death of my grandma, the breakup of a 5 year long relationship, the marriage to my wife and the birth of our son - I've never missed a day. This is my life's work.

You can see my most current song, as well as songs from year's past over at http://songaday.org
