My brain, my body

America the superficial. How much is spent on teeth whitening, weight loss, liposuction, botox treatments, eyelid rejuvenation, hair styling, breast and pectoral implants, jewelry, make-up, designer clothes, accessorizing, spa treatments, nail designs, personal trainers, body waxing, laser hair removal, just to scratch the surface. Above all, we must look good.

So what if my brain had a body? What would it look like? Would it be lean and svelt, ready to take on any challenge? Would it be buffed and chiseled, ready for a Calvin Klein underwear shoot? Would it be flabby and unkempt, thinking only of the next bag of Doritos? Would it be so ordinary as to be overlooked in its daily maneuvers? Would it be athletic and agile, ready to climb the top of the burning building?
