thought-dreams at the organ zoo
now the tourists
and the specimens
are all visiting
the same place
wondering about the way two can smile
at each other, while noticing the color and shape
of the hundred little tumors on a smoker's lung,
or the disfiguration of a sick pancreas
we can have more
than the standard number of bodies
in an exhibition, and not all of them need
to be alive
the fetuses were the best
their skeletal systems (or lack thereof)
glowed like psychedelics
and a laser light show
i should pick one up
and set it
in my forehead
for safekeeping
who would disturb it then, except for the madness of nights
and trees electrified
with the earth rockets
and deeds of stars? ¶ 2/15/2006 07:00:00 PM
