Strange Marriage

Strange Marriage

I can’t breathe, said the hip to the tongue.
Cluck — Cluck. I’m busy.
Try the lower level.
I can’t breathe, said the hip to the ankle.
You’re too heavy.
Lighten up.
I can’t breathe, said the hip to the ear.
I’m so full of what we feel we cannot do.
See the lung.
I can’t breathe, said the hip to the lung.
I can’t bend, the lung answered.
I finally found you, they each thought.

Dana Elkun
