levitating on the toilet
thinking of my father
who pontificated once
about colonics.
everyone is walking
around disgusted
with themselves
he said, but we’re all
pink inside.
dad, why?
see, i’m always asking
for more information so
this is where you urge
my milking stop. urge
the orchestra quiet.
place a salty finger on the lips
of the pulpit.
finally shhhhhh me
into the blue-black
quiet of unknowing
where I am counting
beans or shucking corn.
skinning rabbit looking
up to say i have no idea
how to — shhhhhhhh.
alone in the tar black quiet.
