Something She Feels<\/h1>\n

by Marissa Dubecky<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pale mountains in the examining room
\nScoops of ice cream from the A & P
\nCold and hard peaks, like your utensils
\nSoft but treated roughly.<\/p>\n

It’s just part of the practice
\nThe way we get answers
\nThe way we get what we want
\nThe way the machines are wired
\nThe way he is wired.<\/p>\n

There is nothing here that anyone would yearn for
\nJust a body being tested
\nBeing tugged and told
\nIf you relax you won’t feel it
\nIt won’t hurt if you just relax
\nRelax.<\/p>\n

Fluorescent lights ruin any romance
\nThere are no gentle curves
\nNo secrets or subtleties
\nThe goal is too clear
\nAnd the Latex between us to keep both of us clean
\nBoth of us separate<\/p>\n

It’s all that we will know.<\/p>\n
