Is/Not
by Margaret Atwood

Love is not a profession
genteel or otherwise

sex is not dentistry
the slick filling of aches and cavaties

you are not my doctor
you are not my cure,

nobody has that
power, you are merely a fellow/traveller.

Give up this medical concern,
buttoned, attentive

permit yourself anger
and permit me mine

which needs neither
your approval nor your surprise

which does not need to be made legal
which is not against a disease

but against you,
which does not need to be understood

or washed or cauterized,
which needs instead

to be said and said.
Permit me the present tense.

voyeur

I was careless, it's true;
your wet fish body slipped through
my clamoring fingers

Into the pot you slid
and then the lid
clattered down, and hid
your little fish face
with its silent fish screams..

I craned to hear them, above
the sizzling

previous - next - view all
