Mr. Death
after e.e. cummings
who do you play with now
you with your toy tonsils appendixes legs breasts
Hitler’s
kaput
who used the salute to collect for you
tapping toes to Tristan one million two million three
Christ
he’s kaput too
oh your men are all watersmooth handsome
believable collectible breakablejustlikethat
but what I want to know is
how do you like your blueeyed cancers
your viruses
Mister Death
they won’t die for you will they
