Poem # 53 Any Body

Any Body

Got a tattoo on my stomach,
a circular line of dashes
says ' hole to another universe
cut along the dotted line,
earthman inside!'.

Got two earrings - got them when
I saw a special at the wicked body shop,
one piercing for five dollars
five piercings for twenty.
You can't see the other three.

I carry a piece of ten centimetre
nylon fly wire in my stomach to
hold in my hernia.

Got tribal scarring in Becuanaland,
it's identical to the binary code for zero.

Got a quote from Proust tattooed
on the palm of my left hand -
that hurt!

Got a rebore in my sinus, and
a port and polish, helps
my engine run more efficiently.

Crimped my salivary gland
one night when brushing
too vigorously
whilst under the influence.
Pushing it with my tongue
constantly makes me look
evil.

I could go on -
but why bother,
let us simply say that
I am unique,
just like
everyone else.
