The other day
I lay for an echo of my heart
The technician scanned my chest and sides
I could hear my heart pant aloud
Oh boy! Was that a chugging train,
a distant wail, water gurgling,
or a rhythmic rub inside an empty tub?
The guy sure was at frantic speed
wailing all the while
Thank the Lord
He has made sure
we never hear
the perturbations
of this friend of ours
labouring inside each of us
all twenty-four hours

In my heart
the roses live
in full bloom...
when it gets dark
the heart of the night
strongly beats...
The X-Ray with its Raised Finger
show the chunks
from the sad heart...
The electrocardiogram,
displays the motivation
from the joyful heart...
The Echo cardiogram
show all the strength
from the heart that loves...
The heart on the treadmill
shows that in life
also made a career...!

the cardiogram & the bank account
hanging on his shoulder
she’s waiting for the heart to go
she’s waiting for that final fall
so she can be off to Acapulco
her lips are full & natural
her body makes the covers of the magazines
the only things she’s missing
is his bank account ID---
she makes the physical as rough as possible
to exert him to the max
she goes for runs with him in the morning
in hopes of that heart attack &
the coke they do at night
won’t shut her body down,
but every time he survives the rush
she goes to bed with a silent frown
but one day its gonna happen &
then all her friends will agree
when you sleep with money long enough
it will pay you for your beauty.
