This piece is a tribute to one of my favorite poets, e.e. cummings.
baby girl, the body
mechanic
she smooths my
spots that are (rough

love the way she
grinds) on my now bare
surface-

where she begins

to pound

out all my many

dents

hard with (her tool

deluging my crevices) full
of body filler
until my surface is
so very aerodynamic
ready for
maximum
thrust
