For personnel
I’m person L-2.

Not per Sun
       (shun nature,
       your alien nation inside)
but per Cent.

Time our time
count time slots
by the cent
     carry only the remainder to
          Sunday. The rest
          for you.


66 per cent of me for me
33 per cent of me for you
compounded daily
     fragmented,
          The hands
          The back
          The brain
          The heart
and we must buy back
          parts of parts.

9% carbon and 90% water
     can be brought to boil
Copper and oil
     can be taught to toil.

Sly,
sliced and diced,
a die:

A Rubric Cubed
     (there’s the rub)
     each side, each face
     a place out side.

Can we learn
          assisted
     to put the faces together
Or are we turned
          and twisted
forever.
