the ultimate rejection

 

The magazine headline screamed “Get your body back!”

I ain’t got no boddeee?

When did it leave? Why didn’t someone tell me?

Where did it go? Did it leave a forwarding address?

Is it having fun? Is it drinking Pina Coladas? Getting caught in the rain?
Is it into yoga?

Will it send me a ticket for its destination?

I’ve been patient, I’ve been good
Tried to keep my hands on the table, but I ain’t got no boddee!

Let me hear my body talk!

Sorry… I’ve lost my head – breaking up is so hard to do.

It’s just that I never knew it was missing.

  1. Oh, ha ha ha ha ha! Ms. FD, you have just made my day. And, I also shared this on my family’s blog. Hope someone reads it to my mom (who’s just come back from the hospital). She’ll love it – I certainly did!

  2. Makes me think of this poem:

    Question ~ May Swenson

    Body my house
    my horse my hound
    what will I do
    when you are fallen

    Where will I sleep
    How will I ride
    What will I hunt

    Where can I go
    without my mount
    all eager and quick
    How will I know
    in thicket ahead
    is danger or treasure
    when Body my good
    bright dog is dead

    How will it be
    to lie in the sky
    without roof or door
    and wind for an eye

    With cloud for shift
    how will I hide?
