A-POLITICAL POEM
section4

Pupils dilate as I explain
 1
the basic fund;us-mentals
 2
of all that's wrong with
 3
zig-zag breach of people's
 4
hap(pee)-hazard tracks of
 5
life as your foot moment-
 6
(eh,really?) becomes
 7
mine...overstepping is
 8
becoming a habit.
 9
 
Canada intervenes
 10
in speech patterns
 11
and eyebrows are
 12
fixed-up from too
 13
much caring as
 14
my finger (tires) and
 15
curves to the left....
 16
the right already
 17
taken by those
 18
with trigger fingers
 19
and rum-an'-toils
 20
disease;
 21
never have time
 22
for the even-ending
 23
news.
 24
 
They come and go;
 25
brushing epithelials
 26
as our DNA mixes sans-sex
 27
and changes my life
 28
unexpectedly as you go
 29
about yours-
 30
At least look at me
 31
when we (h)ump.
 32
 
 
I wonder if I shall ever
 33
bump dis-located shoulders
 34
with those who've violated
 35
my life as much as yours;
 36
body (guards) hard
 37
to penetrate when
 38
wheel chairs and cameras
 39
aren't on stand-by.
