Clinically Proven ... In The Words Of HOODA HELAMI

________________________________________________________________________________________________


Clinically proven,
her products are movin'
off the shelves,
faster than 
she can stock them

Do they make your skin
feel like silk?
 
Do breast feeders
have God's milk?

—HELL NO—
 

And
you get 
no money back
+
 can soak
your woes
in beer

Because she is
no doctor
but
She is so sincere

Nothing matters more
—not even a little bitty—
than to speak with 
Sincerity

As every politician knows
so what
if the nose grows

Every celebrity
gives us thrills
as long as they take
their sincerity pills
so what if we
have to pay
all the bills

The Simple Arithmetic Of Memory

________________________________________________________________________________________________



For the equivalent
of 15 years
while teaching
in South-Central
Los Angeles,
I swam one mile 
daily
—five days a week—
at the 

Here is the simple arithmetic:
5 x 52 x 15 = 3900

Effectively,
I swam the distance from
Long Island to Los Angeles
then to San Diego
and back to LA

I'd much rather be swimming
in an actual pool 
today
but 
I can vividly let
memory do 
all the stroking
