Kit Kelen #340 - if


340
if

if I'd worked with my hands
by now they'd be bent
they'd be the shape of something made
hoe's handle, a hammer

or in the garden
I would be that carrot curled
so the shop wouldn't take it
the more delicious, more precious for that

if I'd worked with my head
I would be a big number
or I could never agree with myself

as it is
you can see
how I have
come to resemble
a poem
misshapen
inedible
uneditable
sad surprise

all this legislation
I have yet to pass
and the clock running
and running away
and the clock
running
down
