On Learning To Dissect Fetal Pigs, By Renee Nicole Good

I want my rocking chairs, solipsist sunets, &coastal jungle sounds that are tercets from cicadas and pentameter from the hairy legs of cockroaches. i’ve donated bibles to thrift stores (mashed them in plastic trash bags with an acidic himalayan salt lamp — the post-baptism bibles, the ones plucked from street corners from the meaty hands of zealots, the dumbed-down, easy-to-read parasitic kind): remember more the slick rubber smell of high gloss biology textbook pictures; they burned the hairs inside my nostrils, & salt & ink that rubbed off on my palms under cippings of the moon at two forty-five AM I study&repeat ribosome endplasmic stamen at the IHOP on the corner of powers and stateson hills_ i repeaed & scrubbed until it picked its way & stagnated somewhere i can’t point to anymore, maybe my gut. maybe there is in between my pancreas & large intestine is the piddly brook of my soul. it’s the ruler by which I reduce all things now; hard-edged & splintering from knowledge that used to sit a cloth against a fevered forehead. can I let them both be? this fickle faith and this college science that heckles from the back of the classroom. now I can’t believe_ that the bibled and qur’an and bhagavad gita are sliding long hairs behind my ear like mom used to & exhaling from their mouths – “make room for wonder” _ all my understanding dribbles down my chin onto the chest & is summarized as: life is merely to over and sperm and where those two meet and how and well and what dies there.
