Early test results

Lay on the kitchen floor.
Mash potatoes, cook onions,
until the salt in the mouth assuages
into anger (gives you the heads);
let symptoms shuffle 'round
disembodied, like an anti-diagnosis.

The hands of well-bred professionals
will not stop your anatomy
from bleeding obscenely.

Sick as a dog,
copulating with double entendres,
fighting with lovers that are bemused
by madcap schemes for sex
that can manage cures for
commonplace bodies.

Mission to Saturn

Eyes of pitch and black vision
fork at angles of several hundred degrees.
Rockets touchdown on
moons of fair complexion.
Titan, with a surface like gravel,
is probed for stones of frozen gases,
and there are brumes of Nitrogen, rivers of Methane,
eons of ice that palm perfect rumors of science.
