45*21

there are so many things we can't afford
being in our skin for example
and never being really clean
after all, we weren't brought up to be Jesus
more like the Swimmer
human frailty
you could pass so soon
struck three times by a poisonous snake
lost without body or mind
your intellect won't save you from your body
he made that joke about art
but it only made me think about compromised body
the skin that is filled with need
from the very first cracking eyelid
to the forever permanence
and dirty thoughts pass through
some so raw and real
while others are altruistic by nature
this specimen that walks on and on through perception
grasping very little, really
growing older, soon
not able to buy another one at this time
