Monday

You sparkle brilliantly
your marbled flesh is spiced
with glitter. Inside
your corporeal mass
is a luminous knot
of aqua blue electrolytes.
That batch of muscle
and tendons are kinked
at their core, giving the impression
of either laughing or strain.
As witnessed through binoculars
right before you spill yourself
into the East River: an oil slick
oozing from a beige sack,
some glitter
and a red vegetable.
