A Scanner Darkly

What does a scanner see?
Into the head?
Down into the heart?
Does it see into me?
Into us?
Clearly or darkly?
I hope it sees clearly because I can’t any longer see into myself.
I see only murk.
I hope for everyone’s sake the scanners do better,
because if the scanner sees only darkly the way I do,
then I’m cursed and cursed again.
