INSIDE THE KISS
it is a box,
they will not accept
itthey will not take
ittake it back, No siree,
it ticks, see? take
it backMy shoes are in the
box, too, yes
some socks, a pair
of shortpants and
a pressed neat
shirt-- it's
harmless, really
wont you
take it with
you for a
little
while?lets see, i could
give you some lovely
plastic flowers, yes
God's good gauruntee,
a chocolate box, will
you take it?hold it for a bit
its too heavy for
me
my arms are wilting
like asparagus
im no good at
carrying this box
yes yes, far too
heavy for
meThe box is my arms,
my legs, all the
parts God and
doctor put together
i stuff
it with a kind of
blood and a
History.
put together--
with stiches
not me, no
some surgeon
sewed it
right up!
KaPow! a Rebirth
and the box
is borni want my Mother
to carry it,
but she lives in
her own box
now, that is her
burdenMy Father can not
carry it, it's
not allowed
and besides, he is
busy with his
Jesus, the one
that
firebombs
the
baby killers.
And really
anyways--
like me,
he couldn't
bear the
weightand the rest,
will they take it?
will they take it?too big, they
cry! that box is
an eyesore, and
they climb back into
their drink glasses
thick with
ideasi want It shorn!
i want to remember it
in pieces, cutters
cutters, say
Jahweh-- lay it out
in full and fold
it, crisp it
flat like a
dandelion
i want it boxed!
a box inside
a box! how poetic!
oh what a bore--
what a laugh
and cover it
with flowers--
will you?i want it laid
and wrap it
with a bow
tea kettle and
whiskey glass
like a wake!
no, a wedding!
no no! a
birthday!
and it's so lovely
yes?, so darling,
what a fox--
and will you
carry it?
now--
will you carry
it? oh will
you--
will you
kiss it,
oh will you
kiss it,
now?will you
kiss
it?
