Kerri Shying R - # 589 -bellies much watched discussed and bet upon

skin folds   in summer   a wetsuit   against
relief    rain  struggles to be wetter than
the air and breathing  feels the same
through snorkels as it does   just walking
in the street     clouds become the pregnant

bellies much watched discussed and bet upon

we inch collectively    toward complaint
of repairs and leakage     roads too slick
for safety    the bills for power   climbing
the way  rich men line up on Everest   we
say     anything   but  this

  1. Ha. Wonderful poem. I love it. *Although in Himalayan altitudes (and under such stress) the body begins to consume itself. Few on Everest would have much belly methinks! :)
