Strangers
~~~~~~~~~
So, we are strangers.
We haven't smelled
Each other's scents.
We don't know, the
Color of our eyes,
Disposition
of our teeth,
We don't know
Of the bone
We carry
To our Death.
I propose
That we carry
Our steaming dogs
Into the field
Under the cake
Of the moon
Let them lie,
Breathing,
Showing
Their teeth
Because, we
Are strangers.
We should go
Home and listen
To cassette players
Filled with blank tape,
Whirring a single noise
Forever--
For we are strangers,
We have not smelled
Each other's scents.
And we should
Break mirrors
In private rooms,
Review our images
In the broken pieces,
And we should fetter
Our reflections
In the mud
With our fingers
Like strangers.
Yet we'll walk
Opposite sides
Of the Earth
Follow,
The equator.
- V.A. Blevins
