Back Next Open

Cut me open and you will see
all these hundreds of introjects
Cut me open and you will see
the poisonous contents of old movies
Cut me open and you will see
an auditorium filled with noisy people
Though I was the sperm that was first to the egg
All the other sperms still haunt me
Each voice saying
had I won
you would have been different.
Oh cut me open
and see the circus going on in me.

Irwin R. Shaw - February 3rd 1987
