Limits

My father had some curious things to say

About limits, in a dream:

I would not be a curator of the skin

Without knowing the inside of the body.

Think of a general practitioner in Omaha

Keeping up. Think of the optic nerve

Connected to everything, in a sense.

At seventy, one feels seeing and sees feeling.

Then doctor and body crack like a green sea bottle.
