The People’s Elbow: Thirty Recitatives on Rape and Wrestling
How to Dice an Onion
That Eden
The conquering hero and the blushing damsel
I feel me lamenting
the joke of my body.
I laugh
when men
say I have a nice body:
who is she nice to? laugh
my tinny
laugh, rise,
cactus knees to not much
height. In fantasies, I
am able,
I am
strong. Big-armed and ruddy,
a steak eater. I save
the girl.
Laugh
a bony laugh: crickets’
legs beating sound
from each other.
