A wee visit

I am in this building
waiting for you
come and see me

I have been here
since the collection
began

I am in a jar
my body is crushed
into a small gallery

I have flipper feet
but I cannot swim anywhere
I am trapped

I am a part of my brother
whose head looks
at you too

I am older than him
more
beautiful

Will you come
and see me please?
I am alive

Come to Surgeons' Hall
for a visit
say hello with girlfriend or wife
 
A day out in the sun
an ice cream
melting

I feel you hold hands
and laugh as you
look

It's nice to have
a wee visit
once in a while
