I saw my toes the other day.
I hadn't looked at them for months.
Indeed, they might have passed away.
And yet they were my best friends once.
When I was small, I knew them well.
I counted on them up to ten
And put them in my mouth to tell
The larger from the lesser. Then
I loved them better than my ears,
My elbows, adenoids, and heart.
But with the swelling of the years
We drifted, toes and I, apart.
Now, gnarled and pale, each said, j'accuse!--
I hid them quickly in my shoes.
New-mown hay smell and wind of the plain made her
     a woman whose ribs had the power of the hills in
     them and her hands were tough for work and there
     was passion for life in her womb.
She and her man crossed the ocean and the years that
     marked their faces saw them haggling with landlords
     and grocers while six children played on the stones
     and prowled in the garbage cans.
One child coughed its lungs away, two more have adenoids
     and can neither talk nor run like their mother,
     one is in jail, two have jobs in a box factory
And as they fold the pasteboard, they wonder what the
     wishing is and the wistful glory in them that flutters
     faintly when the glimmer of spring comes on
     the air or the green of summer turns brown:
They do not know it is the new-mown hay smell calling
     and the wind of the plain praying for them to come
     back and take hold of life again with tough hands
     and with passion.
Back in day (of ma
     mum, and perhaps
     since time immemorial)
     utterances of physicians
     nsync with Staff of Asclepius

pounded against floor,
     (which wrought
life to entwined serpent,
     whose beady
     eyed hypnotic power)

     understandably
     ranked doctors among
near mythical powerful
     Gods, who ought
best not be ignored, thus

     (then a young Harriet Harris,
     now long since deceased)
     felt overbearing heft of
     medical practitioners final words,
and subsequently would nought

refute, ignore, nor
     dispute sacred commandment
hence would n'er be accused
     of sacrilegious immodesty,
     impiety, or impropriety

     (towards medical institution),
     and never doubt voice
most supreme in the universe,
thus she felt caught
against challenging authority

     meekly surrendered
     her only son bought
(with bargaining chip
indubitable faith
     in omnipotent equip

ment with hocus
     pocus magic to flip
precious life humming along,
     or force death grip
upon a lovely boy (christened

     Matthew Scott Harris),
     at present lapsed beet hip
pea hooping to stave
     off crossing the lip
of LX bracket, there

     fore reckons a nip
and tuck (think
     prefrontal lobotomy),
     asper when just a pip
squeak ushered,

     where mine existence
     could be mortgaged
with accidental,
     (or purposeful) slip
of the knife, while

     under anesthetized trip
returning minus a mass of
     enlarged lymphatic tissue
     between the back of
the nose and the throat.

in the image of Pol *** a la Lenin contrary to righteous John Locke
Our fused-egg brothers gestate together, flying as a migratory flock
dolled up in vestry wardrobe: papal bikini brassier, ******* & frock
awaiting George Orwell's 1984 English socialism known as Ingsoc
