after imagining yesterday that my poems felt oppresssed by my desire to name and revise them correctly, this title arrived in a dream last night.  i woke up counting the number of words so i could 'fix' it.  (thanks HP for teaching me normalize my babies.)  the body can be taken to address publishers, copyrightists, collectors, writers, books, titles, poems and the bodies of poems themselves.  don't blame me if your poems run away from you or wear more revealing apparel than your title allows ;)
