Hold a mental picture
of a physical body
in your mind’s eye
allow it to
come into focus
what do you see
do you see a floating
fetus on a space Odyssey
or do you see a naked
Miss Universe or
the face of Time Magazine’s
Person of the Year
or do you just see
grandpa, still vibrant
without his cane
able to
dance a jig
at a hootenanny
whomever you have
just seen is now
dissolving fast
my, but you
have a short
attention span
