Body Worlds (Free verse) by Dental Panic
Von Hagen is a little creepy, with his black hat,
his absent lips (theyâre in a preserving bottle,
waiting to be kissed) and his, well, skin.
Itâs a good thing pictures donât smell. Still,
Iâm thinking of plastination camps, Angel
of Death, Arier to the throttle â pure, concentrated.
Thereâre no Chinese convicts on the show,
he claims, just volunteers. Lets all cheer.
My baby went to see it: âyou should see it tooâ,
she said, â Weâll sign up. Me and you. We
could stick together. Copulate forever. Never
short on jam.â I look at her. Long blond hair,
muscular calves, goddess is the least to say:
âBaby, he will cut you up. Sell you by the slice,
or have you for his private play. Lifeâs a dice but
we will be eternal, in a more progressive way.â
