Orbiting Bodies
by D. Xavier BariWouldn't it be nice
for anybody to notice me?
But wait, today
there's a body
that's better than nobody
who needs a warm body, too.
Hey everybody!
I have somebody!
Look, here's proof!
A name!
A picture!
A cute story!
PROOF!
Maybe this means
I'm somebody, too. 08/31/2003 Posted on 08/31/2003

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 09/17/03 at 03:09 AM fantastic title. the irony underneath pulled me to the final conclusion... how we need others and how that need sometimes defies our authenticity. Well done. |
