The Real Lowdoown

what if this system
of joints and reservoirs,
this assailable, machine –
jackbuilt construction
of pinions and bladders –
were merely the means
to supply the energy
for the corps de ballet
that performs every day
en pointe, as they say
in the synapses
.
what if the aboriginal
dream time were,
let’s say, more accurate
than the AMA.
