BODY POLITIC
if my heartbeat is the marching drum, and my
clenched fist is my agency, and my two feet are my
parts to play, then what of my eyesight and ear-
hearing? and if my mohawk is testament, my skinhead
is testament, my afro, my jesus-hair, my bowlcut are
testament, and my tattoo is testament, my tee-shirt,
knickerbocker, pinstripe are testament, then
what of my liver and bile? and what of
my superimposed networks of synapse and artery and
relay neurons and musculature and bones? they grit with
rust and knock-knock with non-use.
