Primal Aplomb

Roseann Geiger

Recycled in piece meal
Kindled and recast
This modification parallels
One sham after another
I''m still dragged by the hair
Then stamped, state of the art
Coiffed and clubbed again
It''s an easier recourse than reason
I exist no more than a high tech primate
Milling about the backdrop
Picking bugs from your hairline.
