He's coming home.
My heart starts playing
ping-pong with my ribs as the
table.
My breathing starts
to play a funky rhythm;
trying to be a musician.
My eyes start trying to win
the National Garden Watering
contest.

He's coming home.
My mind finds out
what it's like
to be a merry-go-round.
My knees want to become
scientists and find out
if gravity really works.
My stomach decides
to grow wings and take
some lessons from butterflies.

He's coming home.
My hands convince me
that there's an earthquake
and we should be shaking.
My feet grow roots
and make pretend
that we have become a tree.
My whole body becomes
a computer with a virus:
!!!AUTOMATIC SHUTDOWN!!!

He's coming home.
My heart won't work.
My chest won't work.
My eyes won't work.
My mind won't work.
My knees won't work.
My stomach won't work.
My hands won't work.
My feet won't work.
My whole body won't work.
All because
the amazing, wonderful,
caring, handsome,
mysterious, loving
man that I love
is coming home.

I enjoyed the comparisons in the first paragraph.
