but i saw you today
without the delightful pleasure
of hasty introductions
of trivial formalities
self-righteous hello-nice-to-meets-yous
stretched out upon a bed of soiled sheets
i am a truck-flattened gumby action figure
in a too-big bra and too-tight panties
as the ceiling fan circles soundlessly
you were white in an innocent orbital abyss
another world between my jutting hipbones
stretched out upon a bed of sterile sheets
i am a barren beast: adolf’s great-great-niece
in a tight orange sweatshirt and a stiff paper gown
as the window unit whirs wildly
you were deep crimson truth in unfeeling hands
another world between life and death
'innocent orbital abyss'... Superb, Superb! ! ! I hope you will write for the next 90 years... this is brilliant. I'm very serious! Frank

It took us forever to figure out what this poem was about in Lit Mag! This was one of my favorites though. I gave it a pretty high score when I graded it. Keep up the great work :)
