The Sixth Appointment
On the sixth appointment (your third) I rat-
tled off the plot of Washington Square,
gleaned from all five of seven cds decked
in our car in the grim subterranean lot
down there, your hand on my knee (your
reach strainedI dont know why
we didnt simply scoot you close), down-
town sun lightening lab-yellow blinds
and when I couldnt look at you I spoke
to the baby squatting naked in a white
porcelain bowl on the wall, all squidge
and a stupid smile and hair sparse
as an old mans (when we were shown
in, we laughed at the sight of him)
and when I couldnt look at the baby
I spoke to the replica of certain a-
natomy (purple plastic for the womb,
barn-door-red for the cervix, pink
for It, etc.), the piece you joked
lonely bachelors might like to display
in their lonely living rooms and when I spoke
to you again the sun had your eyes,
hoarding their godly-green
and the room spun
and I sat back and you rose
as the doctor entered
in high platform sandals,
pleasant skirt beneath
the pale coat and the two
of you shared a laugh before
she whipped open her magic
chart, divined the unseen,
lifted my new blouse,
squirted on the goop,
pressed the thing home
and you heard (for the first time)
the tiny, persistent galloping.
And nobody laughed
then except for me, because Id for-
gotten (even after all these fucking visits):
miracles breathe.
