336 Poem by RIC BASTASA

the main entry
of course in tonight’s activity
is the
crotch

I like it as a noun
And will always
Be itself a
Very hot noun

They say it
Might probably be an
Alteration
Of a crutch

In 1563
It was a pole with a forked end
A prop of old men

Actually as we see it
A crotch
Is just an angle formed by
The parting of two legs

This is the one
That I like best
An image of parting legs
Now this becomes
My favorite verb: parting.
