Polyphonic Improvisation

Definition: Instruments playing independent parts at the same time.

To make
this decision is to have
a polyphonic improvisation playing in your
head at all times; instruments play their
independent parts - pros and cons -
simultaneously.
The cacophony is resounding.
On your feet
as if to dance
pace and turn and frown and smile
independent parts improvising
involuntarily without rhythm or grace
They are all you and so
Beautiful.

An egg
fertilized, latches to lining
cells form, replicate, divide, and replicate again
a heart beats
ribs, lungs, eyes, skin debut their solos
in time
Polyphonic improvisation of the womb
Half you but still
Beautiful.
