       You say Put my body where you want it and so I guide.

Your body to the head of the sentence.

     Well. I put your body well. If. I guide

            you to the head of the sentence, my body arrives

                   to the sentence but. My body heads the sentence. At. The head

                   of the sentence        my body is in

           some other sentence than my body is in.

          Some other sentence than                    I can. Say.

Your body. Ends the sentence it begins and I can say:

Your body.             Well. I want your body                       well at the head

                of the sentence. Where my body

             would want                      my body to. Want

         not in my body in your body      where I want it.

​

             I call    want to your body not to         what body

could I call                       my body.              In what body

could I      put want.                                      In what body

where I would want                    to preposition your body

where I would want.

       If I want I want

                   to put my ungrammatical body

                                                                         in the body

                          of a faraway sentence. Where somebody

could say I want your body here.          Where I

could say I want.     I can’t want it       Where I

could say I want my body, not in my body,

                                           put in my body. In

My body a sentence

     I could say I want to want to say.                                                 Oh how

​

had I ever stopped calling

for myself? The first part I lost

and was believed

​

was the tooth and red ligature

I took from the apple

and saved in a blue metal bank

and brushed every Sunday like a good widow.
