EXPERIMENTS

September 2001

it could have been any american classroom

we sat behind bags of fetal pigs.

they wanted us to understand how the living worked

so we were going to take it apart. scalpel in hand.

they looked like children. a defeated man read

instructions from an old book. before exploring

beneath their skin the loudspeaker commanded

the televisions on & there the towers smoked

like fathers. what else could we do but leave

to call home? leave that room

preserved in formaldehyde for when we’d return

to this memory, finding the animal somehow alive

inside plastic, cut from our mothers

for the purpose of an american experiment
