baby teeth


POEM FOR A WOMAN I ONCE KNEW


The body is what gets the body going.

Then, afterward, you read the articles.

The body that gets the body going
is enlivened by the mind and the mind
produces I. And why does mind produce I?

I don't know. Maybe for the same reason we have baby teeth.

Maybe I’m a philosopher, but I’m weak.

I‘m more like a poet.
