THIS TOO TOO SOLID FLESH
THIS TOO TOO SOLID FLESH
My body
disowns me.
Slams the door( making the
little blue china cups rattle on...
...their little blue china saucers ).
'COME BACK. . !
I scream
but it is only
a thought.
The silence
mocks me.
I've an idea
of what to do
but without my body
I can't see it
through. . .
Nothing about me
is real.
How thoughtless of my body
to just up & leave me
like. . . that!
Now I am
just a disembodied thought
floating invisibly
inside my flat
scaring the cat
raising hackles
unable to turn
the **** TV
off....aghhhhh
3 hours of Big Brother.
My body is snickering
just outside
the door
listening to my soul roar
with rage
at being
unable to translate
thought into action.
Oh how I long
for the body's flesh
even...yes...even
its fatty bits.
My body
enters
grinning: "Ok...ok
you're forgiven!"
& I enter it
eternally glad to be
human
this mesh
of spirit
& soul
And yes...yes
. . .flesh!
