scrubs in sealed shipping bags
heavy lined plastic, bar code
stickers, shoes obvious shape
stacked unskewed in a tower
busy representing a symbol of
a meaning to life's true answer
was nursing assistant school a
reasonable choice for me, the
first person since in my tree
since our species's ancestors
that developed little more than
an anus and a mouth, and we
trace our lineage back to one
of those; though the model
they've identified it looks like
a mouth similar in appearance
to a butthole, but both takes
in and out or possibly blows
the shit out through ears all
over its body, which had hair;
a heart is an undersea creature
squeezing like a jellyfish, and
always in liquid, the ribs a
hamster wheel of swimming
what ligature has to strap this
demon in to lunge for life as
might a racehorse but to eat/
shit; never really free except
for chemically, and in mama-
lian skin, it's too dark to see
but these thoughts populate
anxiety attacks as much as
organizations jonesing to
know your race / "heritage"
so they can put you in touch
with genetically linked others
