This is my beginning of recognizing my body
text or as a cyborg or as a festering spirit
a doppleganger
whatever.
this is what I see
this one has a Social Security Number
this one pay bills
this one works against the tidal waves of deadline
this one works
this one studies
then hit the gym
this one comes home
rubs the aching muscles
and hit the fridge for a cold drink
and then enters the grand opera of the shower stall
and washes, dome epais,
and flows for that 15 minutes
free.
