Phonies

The dismembered people only become appalling
when one sees them put back together again
-through a false connection
The kind of glue on fingertips
as children do in art class.
We could glue our bodies together that way
Pull them apart and see what kind of fingerprint they make.

We are stuck together,
this implies force.
More freedom exists in the bodies still whole
to know life without a missing arm
-I have given away six of my fingers
all from the left hand.
Every four years my body has a reunion
and it reminisces over tools
(such convenient shapes)

An outside view: you are disgusting
