Body Parts

Down to my toes
up to my belly button.
Feel cross-currented web of my fingers and
inside and outside my ear.

Back of my knee
itched when was young
but no longer on radar screen.
Numb?

Air's to breathe
water's to drink.
All else, frankly, is 
negotiable.

I have a red strawberry birthmark on my left wrist. It looks like two triangles next to eack other. Like they are pages to a trianglular book. What's that all about? Tony

Maybe triangles make more sense than squares?
