When you lower your shoulders
And suddendly refuse
To consent to a description -
For your body is the object

It can be put on without a mirror.
The boy, wolf or bear cub, has a stab at
being the O-

GLOCAL POEM

Lady John Donne inherited a string of pearls from HIC SUNT LEONES
As to authenticity jewelers had doubts

The scorpion on my face
just on the midst of pink and pale
a bit out of proportion to East and West, yon and hither,
