little people

As a child, I believed there were little people living inside me.  When I ate food, those little people would run out with baskets over their heads to catch the food as it fell down...

When I drank, they ran out with buckets to catch the moisture.

I believed I was a machine...little people moving my parts, guiding my way, catching my food, cataloging information, and then moving them to storage, for the little people in my brain to read so they could give me information.

Little people, keeping my heart pumping blood, little people manipulating my lungs with their very breathes...a machine, a million moving parts...moving together to create a person.  ME.

As a child, I could feel them, running around, doing their jobs...
