Been reading my hand dandy The Rag and Bone Shop of the Heart – Poems for Men. Good times.Changing Diapers
By Gary Snyder
How intelligent he looks!
on his back
both feet caught in my one hand
his glance set sideways,
on a giant poster of Geronimo
with a Sharp's repeating rifle by this knee.
I open, wipe, he doesn't even notice
nor do I.
Baby legs and knees
toes like little peas
little wrinkles, good-to-eat,
eyes bright, shiny ears,
chest swelling drawing are,
No trouble, friend,
you and me and Geronimo
are men.
