I can recite the names of all the bones in the human body, two hundred and six, a parlor trick I practice at parties. When drunk, I rap them in cartoon voices.
Daffy sez carpus and tarsus and zygometric. The other night while making love she stopped and laughed and said I have an ambulance in my head. But the ambulance was in the night. Flashing lights played tag around the bedroom walls. Good neighbors, we uncuddled to peek from behind the curtains, curious to learn which old man was shuffling closer to god. Dem bones dem bones dem old bones This morning I watched a scattering of starlings tossed against the white fractured sky. —Jim Zola is a poet and photographer living in North Carolina.
